Exactly! Wait a few years, go back and look, THEN grade the draft.

What's the movie about?

A homo goes into the doctor's office and has some tests run.
The doctor comes back and says, "I am not going to beat around
the bush, you have AIDS."
The homo is devastated. "Doctor, what can I do?"
The doctor says, "I want you to go home and eat 5 pounds of spicy
sausage, a head of cabbage, a plate of baked beans, 20 un-peeled
carrots covered in tomato salsa, 10 jalapeno peppers, 5 corn-on-the-
cobs, 40 walnuts and peanuts, a box of branflakes, and I want you to wash it down with a gallon of prune juice."
"Will that cure me?" asks the homo hopefully.
"No," replies the doctor, "but it will teach you what your butthole is really
for."

The Machiavelli personality test has a range of 0-100
Your Machiavelli score is: 62
You are a high Mach, you endorse Machiavelli's opinions.

If this is true. Ralph could have belted out his feelings with one bold sentence. Not a convoluted diatribe.

Second to none? Hmmmm...
Might be so... But as I said before... Those computers he "gives" libraries are basically subsidized by larger more affluent libraries... In other words, your community might get "free" technology if it isn't so well off. If your community is a little "better off" and you want to take part in the program, you pay a premium for the devices... Why even take part in it when you can get it cheaper somewhere else?... What exactly is Gates "giving" away?
While I applaud what they are doing... And agree with the priority to low-income and rural communities... Why should it come at a premium from others? Shouldn't it be about pure giving? The last few lines below (red) is also troubling...
***Note: The figures are a few years old...
The Bill and Melinda Gates Library Foundation has installed computers with internet access in 2,671 library buildings, with priority given to low-income and rural communities. A number of states have provided one-time grants for new technology. Last year, the federal government chipped in $156 million through the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Unfortunately, a single injection of funds for technology will not cut it. Computers may seem like capital equipment at first blush, but they’re not. Unlike Carnegie’s buildings, computers have a limited lifespan. How libraries will manage to fund regular upgrades is a source of much concern.

Why soccer doesn't catch on in the USA

Soccer doesn't take because Americans don't respect athletes faking injuries to extreme as to look like they are mortally wounded just to bounce back up 10 seconds later. That plus there is rarely scoring other than penalty shots.
