[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did Mathews' kids go to school? [/quote]

I really want to know the answer to this question, in addition to where he went to school and college, and how much money he makes (since he has suggested measuring the success of GT programs by income)

signed,
fed who made more on Wall Street than I will ever make at DOJ
married to a husband who I met at my Ivy League college who has a PhD in Computer Science from the top university and makes $5k more NOW after ten years on the job than my starting salary at my Wall Street law firm ten years ago.

Go ahead and use income as a measure of "success."  We always said at my firm that we were the A students working for the B students (the investment bankers) but my work was and is more intellectually challenging and he is doing good things for his country...................

Why don't you look at the research scientists, the college professors at the Ivy League Universities, the federal judges, the researchers at the CDC and at NIH, and the quants who are helping completely model the human genome............

I was taught that money almost never equals intelligence or intellectual potential
either you are partially responsible for this country's financial crisis or you are partially responsible for the "I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill" - not a congressman, because they are too dumb, but a blood sucking big law lobbyist

Pardon my bitterness, that comment hurt my pride
signed,
descendant of a Mt. Rushmore worthy president whose family has been in public service making no money ever since......and proud of it, until you insult our intelligence or our capacity to become traitors and make huge amounts of money at the expense of almost everything my family has ever believed in or stood for.................and the tradition my husband (a product of G&T programs in a city that actually has them) is continuing................[/quote]
