Mike....ah, the powers that be...-g- Now, that wouldn't be why you are a freelancer now, would it? I am amazed that you made it thru the army gig w/o a prolonged stockade vacation. You definitely have the "free spirit" attitude...not exactly what the "powers that be" are looking for, at least in their subjects.

Looks like your comment on AG cleaning up the mess his buddies made is accurate.

If I got over-wound up about it, I'm sorry. I just felt really strongly about Milken getting the shaft. He had a great mind.

Mike, I experienced some sort of si burp in responding to you and cobalt blue. the "i'm sorry if i was wound up" post was meant for cobalt blue as I fired off several posts in a row about Milken.

To you my post was lost somehow and I tried to say I appreciated your reply very much. It seems to me that these days people at the top of the Forbes 400 are folk heroes and the same was not true back in Milken's day.
