I have already stated I am a graduate Chem Eng. What are the rest of you? I have a Masters of Music Education with some hours toward a Doctorate that I chose to discontinue pursuing. I believe in a balanced budget, gov't checks and balances, legalizing recreational drugs, permitting gay marriage and a fairly isolationist foreign policy. There is no political party for me.

I have already stated I am a graduate Chem Eng. What are the rest of you? I suspect educational background would be especially telling in terms of GW. I am a proud graduate of junior college. I learned more there than the rest of the years I spent in school. Unfortunately, I found that being good at drinking, chasing girls, fighting, playing sports and cards and waking up hung over were not well valued by the academic world. After a year and a half I had a 1.7 GPA and a ticket to Southeast Asia. I later attended another 5 1/2 years of school but I'll never underestimate the benefit of that early education. By the way, what's a GW? Ed

BA and MA in international relations seasoned with 13 years in the diplomatic corps under three presidents (Reagan-Bush-Clinton), mostly overseas in Europe and Africa. With no post-secondary science education, I reserve a lot of opinions on GW since so much depends on the scientific details. Proving causation over correlation can be tough, with an almost infinite number of variables involved.

>>One thing that would be interesting would be for the board members to define their educational backgrounds. I have already stated I am a graduate Chem Eng. What are the rest of you? I suspect educational background would be especially telling in terms of GW.<< Bob - I left high school in the middle of my senior year to attend college on an early admission program. I went to three different schools, studying English, Filmmaking, and Music Theory. It was the early 70s, and I was an immature, undisciplined hippy. I did not think degrees mattered, so I didn't make an effort to get one. At this point, I don't regret not getting the degree, but I do feel that I missed out by not getting a better, more generalized college education. By the way, what's GW? - Allen
