Idiot. What do you know of Che? Would you let your kids wear a Hitler Tee? Or maybe Himmler Nikes?

A sweatsuit worn by Castro?

Where do you draw the line, as a father?

Well, you must really be young and foolish. When I came back from Vietnam the antiwar and hippies loved him and I saw plenty of Che tee shirts. You expanded that to my kids and what type of father am I. However one of my kids graduated from GA.Tech and will be returning from Iraq, his third combat tour in 40 more days. My daughter majored in computer science with a perfect 4.0 in computer science and she and her husband retired when she was 34. You should study Che a little more. You have more in common than you think.

At the risk of impertinence, how long ago was that? Where was she hired? Did she go into management, or join a small startup and cash out?

Leaving those questions unanswered may give a misleading impression as to how your daughter did it, and how common / easy it is for others to do it...

Kind of like Rush Limbaugh saying, "If I can make it, you can too." There is only so much airtime on the radio: and there is room for only so many nationally syndicated hard-core conservative 3-hour shows. If he had instead a 1/2 hour show at 2:30 AM in stations in Nebraska and Oklahoma, he wouldn't be nearly so rich...but that is the position that most of his listeners would end up in...

In other words, many who have succeeded get quite nonchalant over the difficulty of reaching their success. Humility is a good thing.

Cheers!
