additionally, would you care for me to list all great people of the past, say, 100 years, who graduated high school (and even college!), and compare that to a list of notable people (in a positive manner) who didn't make it through high school. i suspect that the former list would be longer than the latter. as is often pointed out here in the US, college grads end up making truckloads of money more over the rest of their lives.

No shit Sherlock. Mullet decided to point out the fact that Ed had dropped out and was consequently unworthy of making informed opinions. I was pointint out that Ed is in good company. Going to college does not guarantee success, just as not going to college does not guarantee failure.

You're trying to debate political ideology and history with a polisci major. Burden of responsibilty between branches of a federal system is entirely irrelevant to this conversation, so shut the hell up and let the big boys talk.
