Actually, they don't give out Nobel Prizes for the field that I was in. I guess your point is that Nobel Prize winners (like your buddy Milton) are never wrong? If that's true, congrats on supporting Al Gore... :) LOL…I guess I’m still working on it. Actually, they don’t give out Nobel Prizes for the field that I was in.

Hogwash! I think the students, teachers, mentors, investors, etc. in their day did indeed help them become greater than they ever could on their own...period. We do not *only* have to choose between communism, fascism, and capitalism...there is a third way...a mixed economy...they work and they are fair to everyone. We are closer to fascism now in this country than we have been in a long time IMO...that's scary... Albert Einstein and Henry Ford never got any help from *anyone* else in developing their ideas?

The problem today is that people on the left consider our government "capitalism." Of course, the government manipulating the economy through no-bid contracts and federal grants is the exact opposite of capitalism, so we have to contend with the distortion of language before any real policy change can happen...
