Me translated 4 years of Latin in high school... Virgil etc., and didn't learn a damn thing.
Did kiss a lot of girls back then.

It was not meant as a put down or a challenge. It was just that you only mentioned money, or making money in your post. As though that was a good reason for dropping out of college.

It was an attempt on my part at communicaition. Poorly made by me and for that I apologize.

I can barely understand English and never read Virgil. I did once do a paper comparing the great Greek thinkers of 325 BC to the great thinkers for the next 2,000 years and found none to compare with any one of many many Greeks, like Plato, Aristiotle or Socrates.

And certainly not one to compare with the big three above until one gets to Shakespear. I cannot think of one great thinker after the Romans destroyed Greece that compares to the big three above.
