June 7th, 2009
http://www.theamericanscholar.org/the-disadvantages-of-an-elite-education/
here is something (link above) that resonates with me against the backdrop where all the brain
drain that is happening in Nepal and the way smart youths are progressing towards being cookie

January 4th, 2009
Seth says and I couldn’t say it any better.
