I totally agree--the whole point of the American Dream is to pass on better opportunity to your children. The fact is, that GenX largely accomplished this (for maybe the first time in history). In terms of being able to create even a marg

I don't know. There have been a lot of stories how young people are just a lot less willing to take risks than they used to be. I can tell you for a fact there are wide open $120k jobs in North Dakota and they are desperate for young up-a

I'm hacking together something very similar to this right now, actually...have you considered doing a Pinterest for lists? Instead of the user curation component, doing more of a "make lists for me that are public on my wall"? Like, "Coun

The credibility of dissenters has nothing to do with the size of their group, especially in matters of science. If there is one heretic among 20,000 in the orthodoxy, and that heretic has better evidence, then the heretic is more credible.
