I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.
If I went back to college again, I’d concentrate on learning to write and to speak before an audience. Nothing is more important than the abillity to communicate effectively.

The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.
Our great Republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here, the people rule.

I couldn’t wait to start the day.
