OK we agree on that.

I am not sure why I thought you might be laying in a case for a certain gubernatorial candidate….

That is not my point at all. I have four college degrees and still find myself very underemployed while trying to pay off huge educational loans.

My point is the individual. Some people make awesome contributions with pure dedication and drive but no paper, and some with higher education waste their potential. The Ox comes to mind.

Some people on this blog indicate that if one does not have “the paper,” then one should not try to advance oneself and I don’t believe that is the case.

@Republican Lady

Perhaps your point is correct. We should resolve the current budget worries as initially planned and stop funding public Higher Education in Georgia.

Those pesky degrees are holtin’ us back.

If you are in any way trying to compare any of our state leaders to Bill Gates or Abe Lincoln…please stop. That’s embarassing.

With respect, fellas. To my knowledge the only time Jesus ever got angry was with the money changers in the Temple. I feel that the Wrath would be upon Mr. Reed for his dirty double dealings.

This will be fun. Graves v. Hawkins is already getting a bit tired, so this will be a welcome distraction.

I hope he does, nothing like some extra competition to earn your vote…if he runs, whether he wins or loses the district will benefit with him in it.

“could ralphie have done any worse?” yes

obama has a college degree. sonny has a college degree. ox has a college degree….not lending much credibility to college degrees.

Could Ralphie have done any worse? At least he has a college degree. Non-college degreed folks appear to have a problem in this state of not being able to demonstrate they can think on their own very well.
