    Academic Financial Axioms

    Recently, I went to John Norstad's finance page. John is a software developer at Northwestern University. In addition, he's interested in finance.----Jim http://homepage.mac.com/j.norstad/finance/index.html#prob

    In Memory 7th Anniversary of 9/11

    The thing I remember about 9/11 were the soldiers waiting in line, for miles, on Route 1 to enter Fort Belvoir - calm, patient and ready to do their duty. I also remember my wife's hospital. They were in lock down, scared, waiting to receive burn victims from the Pentagon. We left DC on on...

    Sarah Palin?

    Birch, Just keep expressing yourself. It's your right. As far as my switching political affiliations, you're just SOL.:laugh: I hope your daughter is doing well.----Jim

    Sarah Palin?

    No, just a Vietnam vet. I got drafted in 1969, did my two years, and earned the right to express my opinion. If you don't like it, too f**king bad. Frankly, I thought we were having a civil and interesting discussion. However, I'm not interested in exchanging ad hominem attacks. As far as I'm...

    Sarah Palin?

    Hey, no problem. I graduated from a Jesuit university. However, I no longer believe in Catholic dogma and theology. No tension at all.:laugh: However, as a result of your response, I did some Googling. Apparently, the Catholic Church is not of one opinion on abortion. I found a rather lively...

    Actually, I thought Steward's joke was funny. In addition, as Tom pointed out, it's probably true.;) However, since you asked: We're using "Hanoi Hilton" techniques on the people we're holding at Guantanamo, Bagram, Abu Ghraib, etc. Of course, we call them "enhanced interrogation". And...

    Sarah Palin?

    Don't bother. I don't think either of us are going to change the other's mind. However, if I discover St. Thomas Aquinas' position on abortion, I'll let you know.:)---Jim

    Sarah Palin?

    Birch, well said! And, it's too bad. We've got a lot of problems that need fixing and a lot of challenges to face.----Jim

    Sarah Palin?

    Biden's position is my personal position. Abortion has been prohibited in the past as public policy and the prohibition didn't work. Women still got abortions. However, many died in the act. There is not a national consensus on when life begins. Therefore, there is not a consensus that...

    Sarah Palin?

    No, you've got it wrong. The police are supposed to arrest people after a crime has been committed. If they police can arrest people, whenever they feel like it, without probable cause, then we're living in a police state. The 1st amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an...

    Well here's a particular news article. http://www.startribune.com/politics/27695244.html If you'd like to see more, just Google "St. Paul police raids". From the article: "On Saturday afternoon, law agents surrounded 951 Iglehart Av. in St. Paul where members of I-Witness Video, a New...

    Sarah Palin?

    I've never been much of a Joe Biden fan. However, he was great on this morning's Meet The Press. Tom Brokaw challenged him with tough questions about his relationship to MBNA Bank, his support of the bankruptcy bill, whether or not the surge has worked, and when does life begin. On the last...

    Sarah Palin?

    If you're talking about Tony Rezko, your statement is incorrect. From the Chicago Sun-Times: 'A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last...

    Sarah Palin?

    Possibly, however, Ms. Kilkenny's letter was published in The Nation and referenced in a N.Y. Times article. If it's not true, then Ms. Palin should address the allegations quickly and directly. I wouldn't want her to get "Swift Boated" like John Kerry did in 2004.:rolleyes:
