>>>>>>I am dead serious. I don't know all the particulars, but he was hired at a law firm and shortly thereafter was working for himself. I guess developing software, with his ability, is more lucrative than being an attorney. He also has a business training future lawyers to pass the bar exam.

>>>I once appealed to him for help in some subject. I think someone had pointed me in his direction. Anyways, he totally ignored my appeal and I heard nothing back.

>>Intelligence and smartness are not related at all. An intelligent person is not necessarily a smart person, and vice versa. GWB is a perfect example, he is far from intelligent, but very smart. JVP is clearly very intelligent, but is he smart?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
