Regarding the Ross Perot thing- it was an extra credit assignment, and I was young and impressionable.

As for the Earth Day thing, I actually saw no ill intent in their offer. During the festivities, all of the students were very respectful- it was the folks who came in from off campus who stirred up a little trouble at the table, requiring me (with the help of my friends) to lay down the law in my "gentle yet steely" way. :)

LOL. Hey, Bill had one of those long days at the office in the software saltmines. We're going for a walk. Sorry to do that just when things are um, taking flight, but he needs to go for a walk and tell me how stupid some of his co-workers are. I listen, and therefore he's not tempted to actually tell them at work, which is good.
