Thank you on your compliment, and no, this is definitely not quite heaven. lol. Is it at times a strange dream? Yes.
I am preparing to get back into the market again. It is a great time for it.
“behold the Kingdom of Heaven is amoung you”
What line of work are you in?
I am not Jo-Jo Gunn but I say yes. There are plenty of room at DU for them.
Yeah, the hell with the Constitution is what they are saying.obama is our man now we are backing him all the way.Principles be damned.
Well they can have him. He is not my President. His and my principles and beliefs are at the opposite ends of the sprectum.
Just because somthing may be legal does not make it right and a judge’s ruling may make it legal but it doesn’t make it right.
At moment, I hold 3 different jobs. One is full time. I used to have a career prior to arriving here; here, I’m building my bone fides.
I tried with Clinton.
I tried with Bush’s second term.
I’m done trying.
0bama is going to have to prove himself to me.
Otherwise, I will actively work against him.
I am not for sale - to Dems or Repubs.
I am here too. And I have actually had a couple of careers.
Here is probley somewhere near here.
Have you read Atlas Shrugged?
What type of jobs?
I was 15 the first time I read it. :)
Why do you ask?
It’s one of my favorite books, I’ve read it two or three times. Kind of obsessive I know.
I’m involved in a startup that has created a super strong light weight metal, sort of like Reardon steel only it’s Mg.
I’ve been working on it for almost three years.
What an exciting venture, stockpirate! And running in parallel to one of your favorite books. Each time I’ve re-read Atlas Shrugged, I’ve picked up more meaning; and yet, as I’ve gotten older, while I see the pragmatism in Rand, I also see a wishful aspect. I wondered if this was due my getting cynical; but then I observed various groups “shrugging” to do the “new world”, and I saw how they were beset by basic problems. Building a brave new world is no easy feat.
Sorry....the best I can do is pray that they don’t destroy America and will get thrown out of the WH ASAP.
I pray for his immediate “conversion” into a lowly private citizen, daily.
It is very exciting to me. We are in hopefully the last stage of funding, and final testing. All should go well then who knows, the sky is the limit.
We may take it offshore due to the policical climate here in the US.
Using our material one could build a plane that currently weighs 600,000 pounds using only 300,000 pounds of material thereby cutting the planes weight in half while is would still be stronger than the 600 k plane.
It’s almost surreal.
This is truly impressive and exciting, stockpirate! Count me in with those who are always in awe by newer explorations, inventions, and “boldly going where no man has gone before”!
Thanks. It is draining however, two steps forward one step back.
We get very excited because of the many applications our material can be used for. Just need to get it finished.
I can see where/how it would be draining. All truly great things require much to reach fruition. You are working on something truly exciting, stockpirate.
Thanks, but being single and not having a partner to share it with sometimes removes some of the excitement.
I’m the guy that located the funding and I sit on the board.
So, in re funding and sitting on the board... you are a stock pirate? ;>
I agree with you.
The GOP is being destroyed by shallow ideologues.
