If he can work an ATM he is. If he can manage an IRA electronically he is. Indeed, I wouldn't trust my economy to a bunch of dead guys who couldn't even figure out how to make the time stop flashing on their VCR.

Since I assume you are being facetious, I will let it go. I do disagree with CP's description of them as normal men doing extraordinary things. They - Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, et alia would be extraordinary in any situation in any time. Noone else could have done what they did.

Today that whiz-kid with the VCR probably thinks he's wealthy because he's got all the latest electronics but hasn't tried to buy a house, lives paycheck to paycheck, "invests" his money in a $25,000 car, and is so far in debt, he may never get out.
