Why Americans Know that Driving is for Show & Putting is for Dough
The Prometheus Institute ^ | 7/1/2006 | Justin Hartfield

America is a country of Closers. Remember, "Show me the money"? Remember, "Where's the beef?" Americans want to see results. Somewhere in France at the time you are reading this article, French students are protesting the proposed reforms of the guaranteed two-year job retention program. I can't think of anything more anti-American than guaranteeing, say a car sales job to an individual that can't close the customer.

We have plenty of people in this country whose jobs are guaranteed regardless of results - they're called government workers and it's the fastest growing category of employment in America.

French can't "close"?

Like that so-called soccer player, Zinedine or something, who choked in the closing seconds of the "World Cup?"

Double-whammy: the guy was both French AND muslim!

You are pretty much transferring the Prometheus institute website to freerepublic.

What is your connection to that site?

I think the question is important. What is your connection to the unknown Prometheus Institute? Goofy amateurish website hack? What's up? Most of your posts are simply shilling their barely literate tripe. Admit it, your one of them. Just tell us which one?

Okay. I'll admit it. I'm M. Harrison's father and I just want to see his articles getting discussed on the site he enjoys so much.

For all of the hating going on, PI articles still consistantly get the most number of comments and views so obviously they are onto something.

Education and healthcare, the two socialist arms of failure in the United States.
