EOC Week Six

Greed Is Good
“The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated. In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you. I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/quotes

This guy make this golden tongue speech and than ruins nearly about everyone who agreed with him. Pawns in his game. It is sad to see people who have absolutely no Integrity. I pity them because the game that they are playing is a single player game. Yah, sure you can buy alliances, but he has made to many enemies not to be looking over his shoulder. You could not trust anyone. Always living in fever for that moment, because you know it will come. You have to succeed at staying alive everyday. They only have to succeed once.

Yah, the Economy is on dial up instead of high speed but I can live through it. There is always going to be some sort of big chaotic event that we have to deal with. I see it in terms of options. Let is consume you. Learn to deal with it. And than there are always people stuck in the middle. Don’t be the middle man.

EOC Week Five

What did this Mr. Frederick want to accomplish with displaying a banner that was not made for or even in the school but was being shown off at a school event? I tell you why. He was in it for the fame the little son of the gun, to bad about the fortune.

One of my big questions is Mr. Frederick has this 14 foot long banner http://www.slate.com/id/2162161/, and he is the only one who fights this battle. What I mean is his buddy’s helped him hold that sign. In a way they were promoting whatever was on the sign http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_v._Frederick. Where were they, and why weren’t they not mentioned?

I had to look up what a bong was and want reference it had to marijuana use. Prior to this I just thought that a bong was a sound like you would hear from a gong. I mean when close caption is on, and I am watching something with a gong in it that is what I read at the bottom, bong. So what a bong is in the reference to marijuana is the device to smoke marijuana. For inhalation it is a little different, for the device that is used to inhale it is called a bong hit. Here is my reference: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2006/08/27/from-cigars-to-bongs/
