I am not saying he will not win. I am saying that I am pretty sure I will be one of his chosen people who will get to redistribute his weath to those that do not have enough. Glad to know that you are expecting to get some of the money.

I don't need your money, or anyone else’s and I'm not afraid to share mine.
I’m sure you don’t want to compare net wealth on this board.
You can’t take it with you.[/quote]

I can't take it with me, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to chose who gets it.

No fight at all. I just do not like the thought of socialism. My current money is very well protected. It is my future earnings that are on the verge of being attacked. If it can not get to my pocket, I can not control where it goes.

So how does a country like Russia, which was and to some degree still is a socialist country, wind up with so many Billionaires? Obviously the socialism is only intended for certain portions of the population. Hmmmm...sound familiar?

The fall of communism did not turn the country into a fair, ethical, and free living democracy.

...so I'll throw out a hypothetical...here goes...Does anyone here think that Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, Bill Parcells, Bill Walsh, etc (In other words an NFL Hall of Fame Coach) could have taken this year's team to a bowl?

Possibly Bill Parcells. He is still alive.

His point is well taken. Bottom line is that even with the best of coaching you must have a thresh hold talent level to compete. Even with the talent there must be team chemistry, luck, absence of key injuries, experience and everything SMU does not have this year.
