Keep on keeping on. You are fine in my book. Keeping your vanities on your personal page is a good idea. I wish I had thought of it.

We disagree on Perry but as long as we are dealing with facts that will all work itself out.

You may find it hard to believe but there are Harvard grads even in Texas. In my life I have worked for three companies that were headquartered in the Boston area, one owned and funded by a Harvard grads, all trust fund babies, and another owned and run by MIT professors. This was in the early days of computers and artificial intelligence dealing with what is called emerging technologies.

I was always amazed at how nice, intelligent people could be so wrong on politics. It seemed to be in the water. I think they just wanted to be nice people supporting compassionate things. How people so smart in technology could not see the obvious implications and results of their policies was always a mystery to me.

I don't find it at all hard to believe that there are Harvard grads in Texas. Unless one is a trust fund baby, one must go where the jobs are. Particularly in technology.

It is just that Texans and Harvardites are the only two groups who take their innate superiority over all others for granted under ANY circumstances.

I've even known humble people from other Ivies and from Cal Tech.

Cheers!
