I had a legitimate 4F and they would not have taken me IF, I TRULY WANTED TO GO.

My first two years, I attended a community college AT NIGHT and worked a 40 hour a week job plus some weekends. I remember not having time to waste in the bathroom so I did some reading there.

I have no sympathy for the you owe mees of this country.

As to that speech. I am embarrassed that far too many of the people who recognize the great opportunity this country offers are foreign born.

This country was not built on equal standard of living but on equal opportunity. The concept of equal standard of living is communism. It is actually a great liberal thought-OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK.
There are sooooo many examples-East Germany vs West Germany, Greece, N. Korea vs South Korea etc and while we turn more and more toward communism and socialism, the communist socialist countries turn more and more toward capitalism. In the real world, people work harder for themselves then for the collective. By working hard, they produce and all of the collective benefit.

The concept of FAIR is a term tossed about by liberals.
IT IS UNDEFINED two people look at the same thing and do not agree what is fair.

I do not recall who said it but,"The difference between success and failure is that the successful person keeps trying." For me failure was simply not an option.

When, I graduated college I received a note of congratulation and that my first college loan payment was due in ??????? two months????????

Financially, I did quite well. ONLY REASON WAS THAT FAILURE WAS NOT AN OPTION.
