    Those that know me know that I'm ex Peace corps who came back to the Congo. I just received word that one of my former students who is finishing up a master's in IT is applying to the Kennedy School at Harvard at the encouragement of a full professor there for his PhD. Not bad. He grew up in a house with a dirt floor and next stop one of the most prestigious programs in the world. **** hole country my ass.

    Why do some people feel the need to drag something good through the muck of their mind.

    Good on you and Him.

    So your stellar education leads you to believe that if you read one story on a public forum, there is only one story.

    Where did you go to school again? You might want to ask for a refund.

    What I can't understand is how the world managed to exist for millions of years and humans inhabited the planet without the USA or Donald Trump...Not to mention the Dumpsters..
