Okay. I feel like we are replaying the Amiga Inc. "don't tell anybody we don't have an office, phones, employees" game. If you have a day job elsewhere, and your programmers are in Germany, then I don't know who is in this office. But that is your affair.

Bill (and surely not Raquel) is not the kind of person who looks down on people because they have a humble profession, and I think you are wrong about that.

Listen, West Point is extremely prestigious academic institution that turns out titans of industry, great military leaders, statesmen, US Presidents, you name it. A West Pointer engineered the Panama Canal for example. I am not saying that Bill Buck is in this league, but AFAIK his academic background is excellent. As for Army Captains... how do I say this? You are praising him, but I guess you don't realize it. I find that sometimes Europeans have a distorted stereotype of military persons as warmongers, but in fact many have incredibly peaceful natures. They are instruments of national policy, not authors of it. There is no finer thing to be than an American soldier.
I guess the public decides who makes a fool of him or herself in public. I'll grant you that BBRV makes brash, confrontational statements that in the more extreme cases are counter-productive. |
