Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.
It is not time to "embrace" American royalty, it is rather time to "accept" American royalty. Who could argue against the fact that we all know that family and personal connections open doors that mere ability and hard work simply do not.
It is just a fact of life that nepotism and croynism exist, and in fact, flourish regardless of what nation, society, or culture one lives in.
We might as well accept this basic tenet of human nature rather than try to change it, or ignore it. That doesn't mean we can't account for it.
I say tax the incomes of high wealth individuals, many of whom owe much or all of their financial success mainly to their parents stations in life (directly or indirectly).
This would help to inure the benefits of this realtiy to all.
