CALPERS is funny. It used to turn its nose against investing in certain countries. 'Fine people is another thing.'
Perhaps they will be investing in Iran and Sudan soon :-)

The expression: 'Fine people is another thing.' In Portuguese "Gente fina e outra coisa" Refers to people or entities who refrain to do things that only the shirtless hoi poloi or low class people do.

Man, this thread is culture too!!!
