(Well, most everybody, but you’ll figure it out sooner or later.) Back in olden times, all the players you had to suck up to were these old waspy guys. <br /><br />The minorities knew this and developed strategies. The Asians spread the meme that they were a hard-studying hard-working hard-saving lot who could also make good food. This was accepted by some of the old waspy guys who granted them entrance into the system.<br /><br />The Africans tried this same meme too but it got little traction. In fact, James, the freed slave blacksmith, rode into town willing to do blacksmithery for half price, since, you know, he used to do it for free. But the townspeople avoided him because he was a “ni(*DONG*)r”. So Africans began spreading the meme that they were mad as hell and weren’t gonna take it anymore. They did some rioting too. <br /><br />The waspy old men in power said: “We gotta keep the peace!” Give them ni(*DONG*)r’s a consolation prize or something. <br /><br />And now we have racial quotas.<br /><br />(*Disclaimer: Big solutions often have unintended consequences.

I told them: “I have a strong aerospace engineering background, and abstract, spatial and mechanical aptitudes that’ll knock your socks off. I love doing all kinds of cool mods on my own residences, elegant designs, built to last, for dirt cheap. I want to go into business doing residential design/build mods. I figure I can easily enter the market with my credentials and portfolio, and if I give people a bargain price, how can I lose?<br /><br />She emphatically replied: “You WILL lose. Most people are not like you. They do not make decisions based on logic. They make them based on emotion, and rationalize afterwards. That is Rule #1 for small business.” She said a lot more but I don’t want to waste space here. I walked away dismayed, but knowing she had spoken some truth.<br /><br />So I began to tivo Oprah.flunkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-62155858779458590332011-05-26T12:21:47.027-07:002011-05-26T12:21:47.027-07:00I disagree with your post across the board.
