Peanuts is not timeless. Its generational. 50 years from now it will be largely forgotten and certainly not remembers by those that are currently 30 and younger. A college education has value, but not for everyone. If anything, college degrees have become commoditized. There are too many people who are not a good fit for the college system that would be better off and more prosperous if they followed the trade school path or became Read More...

Steven, try to do a bit more thinking on this one. If these student-athletes are sent there just to play basketball, fine. However, they are not. The sports were supposed to be extra-curricular activities in a learning institution. The US, to its credit, did not follow the way other countries, particularly the former Soviet-bloc nations did in having pure athletic institutions for the sole purpose of churning out athletes for the Read More...

Robin, I agree with your post but the one thing the author exposed is that BODs dont have the interest of the company at heart. Large investors control votes and board members. The investors don't care about long term career goals term health but only short term profit. They will dump the stock as soon as they have raped it, There should be something about the board members having substantial risk to go with the position of Read More...

Fly -alone -Win explains everything! Win melts the Communist collective training method! Li Na is Chinese Angel now. However, fews yrs ago, Mrs. Sun Jinfang, the director of the Tennis Sport Management Center, cursed her morality for money and her low behavior, and again questioned LI-Na's tennis skill! What a great change management process now! One thing this WSJ author forget and selectively not reported, the Tennis Sport Management Read More...

I am dismayed at most of the comments. Such poor understanding of the concept of money from the readers of otherwise serious paper is very troubling. All commerce is barter. Money is just a convenience and the reason for gold being money is purely incidental and physical in nature, (is rare compact non perishable...) but above all it has INTRINSIC value. It is not worth anything in the ground but when you pick up the shovel it represents Read More...

Wow...thanks for replying. My most realistic plan for changing careers at 40 careers, given my knowledge and temperament, was to get an MBA. Now I see that wouldn't have done much good either. My current plan for my life, ironically, dovetails quite well with the gist of Ms. Hymowitz's article -- given how nasty the past was and how hopeless the future looks, I just live day by day, grateful for every paycheck I receive, and otherwise Read More...

There has been a constant drive thru the twentieth century to create government functions and extra-agencies by Democrats, which then cannot be paired back when the voters reject the Democrats and drive them from power. Membership on one of these regulatory boards should regard by the courts as along with the gratuity of $600,000 a princely sum. Congress bestowing a resume title of nobility should be treated the same legally by Read More...

Change you can believe in as the smoke clears, and the mirrors crack and the ugly dust of reality settles in. Change you can believe in.........as the searing wave of volcanic ash blows through the land and blankets the electorate in the hot searing truth! Change you can believe in as the winter of discontent chills the electorate to the marrow of it's bones.. Now...Americans everywhere are poised and stand ready for accelerated Read More...

The cost of living is so high that people would rausing the law of attractionr staying at home receiving benefit. A job in a US factory is not comparable with potentials in home countries so many foreign talents left US immediately after graduation. US is no longer an attraction for the world talent. This along has a short-term impact on our economy today and a long-term impact on our nation's status as a super power. Maybe that Read More...

I can not believe what job is right for me some people are posting saying that the senors on Social Security re selfish and draining the system, These people worked their whole life, contributed to the social security system, and people are saying to cut their benefits. THese people are now not capable of working, many are in nursing homes, draining whatever savings they had during their lifetimes. Here in New York, they are paying Read More...
