Abandon ship. There are other countries out there that can benefit
from your skills.

I've had a fantasy of teaching math and science in the Philippines.
Maybe I'll go there a little earlier than I'd originally planned...

Oh, boy. Obama is going to feel like he can do anything he wants,
now.

All hands, abandon ship...

I'm a long-time lurker, occasional poster, on some of these newsgroups
(mostly to read articles about automobiles, not necessarily political
debates about topics not reasonably related to the auto industry). I
couldn't help but reply to this one.

You lied about your age and enlisted at age 15? Certainly history
confirms that that did occasionally happen, but it was relatively rare.
Rare enough for it to be unusual for any one individual to claim. At
what point in adulthood did the collision between your claimed age and
your real age occur? For example, you presently acknowledge your real
age, and presumably have made legal claims to your age in the past such
as for driver's licenses, Social Security and Medicare benefits, etc.,
based on some kind of documentation. At some point you would have had
to stop relying on fabricated or non-existent evidence of your age and
identity, and return to the truth. How difficult was that? And thank
you for your service, at whatever age, by the way.

Also, if you have so much wealth, why are you wasting time debating us
poor fools on such a low-rent venue like Usenet, and drawing attention
to that wealth in ways that are not necessarily in your best interests?
Without peeling back the curtain, it's hard to say whether you're
actually on the level, or one of many, many anonymous people making very
broad and grandiose claims about themselves that cannot be verified.
One of the most storied takedowns of someone's braggardry on their
alleged wealth, technical expertise, and business success on Usenet was
about one Mr. John de Armond, expertly critiqued by the late Larry
Lippman:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.electronics/msg/20093cc36f4f3aaa?hl=en&dmode=source

Perhaps you might assert that you don't care if we believe you. Fair
enough, but then why would you otherwise care what we think on other
topics?

Not being rich, but being a sensible person who respects the real and
verified successes of identifiable individuals and their advice on
various subjects (including successful businessman and retired radio
talk show host Bruce Williams), I might suggest that if you want your
grandchildren and great-grandchildren to succeed in life, probably one
of the worst things that you can do is set up unconditional taps of free
money for them. Sure, pay for their college education, help them set up
a business or employ them in yours, but don't make their living so easy
that they might become unmotivated to try, succeed, fail, overcome
adversity, learn from their mistakes, and achieve like you have
supposedly done. I'm not sure that our country needs another set of
third and fourth generation Kennedys, Rockefellers, Waltons, Hiltons,
Schwinns, etc., and the various tabloid-worthy hijinks of some of their
more colorful members.

One of the more interesting answers from Bruce Williams if you've every
listened to his radio talk show or attended his public appearances is to
the question of what he thinks about the original "Uniform Gift to
Minors Act". But then someone who was truly wealthy, had succeeded in
business, and was the patriarch of a large family including
fourth-generation descendents, would keenly understand all of these
issues already, wouldn't they? Perhaps your wealth is modest enough
that these are not issues. Perhaps you have already thought about these
issues, and have come up with good solutions for them.

Please clarify how it is possible to give such a large sum of money to
public officials with the condition that specific actions be done. That
sounds very close to unlawful influence peddling or bribery to me. Have
you consulted with your attorney(s) on this one? I'm not saying that it
can't be done, I'm just honestly curious how it can be done, legally
that is.

Also, if you have that much disposable wealth, I would like to speak
with you off-line about some worthwhile favorite charities of mine that
I could suggest for you to make similarly large donations.

Well he hasn't done much for a year. Killed a fly on TV. Got a white
cop and a black professor to talk over beer. That's about it. Now
he'll think he's invincible.

Mike,

Take a deep breath and relax.

Life goes on, and you probably won't notice a change.
