There's some absolute gems in there for connoisseurs of eloquent incompetence. "Consider, for example, the role of commerce - the freedom to engage in which was a fundamental spark to the American Revolution. Although it may not b

Grandmaster Judit, Grandmaster Susan, International Master Sophia, and their parents, Klára and László Polgár might disagree. László Polgár had a thesis that one does simply raise a prodigy and managed to do pretty well on that score, given

All you are basically saying is that it is not ok to discriminate based on employer if the person has no idea what their employer is doing. Presumably this is not the case if it is known what an employer is doing, although when it is not kn
