Yes, how dare I read books and think for myself. Because reading is un-Murican.

And yes, I've studied Keynisian economics during my Liberal days. And no, I never intended colleges nor do I ever intend to. Various successful entrepreneurs, business men, artists, innovators, and overall high-minded individuals succeeded in life without college degrees. Even Stanley Kubrick, Mark Twain, and Frank Zappa both opposed compulsory education and believed they stifled creativity.

1/10 See Penn Jillette after class.

Oh, boy. People are still believing in the "Robber Barons" myth. [MARXISM INTENSIFIES]

Grant and Harding receive more flak than they deserve. They were ran under corrupt administrations and were friends with some nasty federal employees. But they weren't corrupt themselves, as they had little to no affiliation with the scandals that were occurring under their desks. Ulysses S. Grant was total softy, he was the badass with a heart of gold. Grant was squeamish around blood, he provided amnesty for those he fought against, was a happy drunk, sobbed profusely during his daughter's wedding, and he was very loving family man.

>implying being stoned is a bad thing

Like I said, til' next time. ;)

For not, let me just celebrate "muh free-market", "muh Ron Paul", and smoking weed everyday.
