    Hmm... this thread seems to have the higest signal:muppet ratio of any Geo thread in my recent memory.

    It appears Mr. Tom Wujec of TED has higher regard for kindergarten students than us MBAs!

    We who regularly post probably all agree that the forum is great possibly that both you and your alter ego girlnoipogen make it interesting. You two have a good relationship. Spirits makes bold claims and girlnoipogen is right behind providing support. You two seem to have the same keyboard err schedule with writing styles and thought processes that seem the same.

    Not sure I'd say this site is "democratic" as it is a privately owned site.

    I understand what your'e saying. I am currently a postgraduate student at Tsinghua University studying for my MPA. Many of my lectures are hard for me to follow, and it feels like I'm treading water. However, much, if not all, of the reading materials assigned in the class is top notch, easily on par in terms of quality with my University of California undergrad. However, if you depend on somebody to digest information for you in the form of a power point lecture, you should probably look elsewhere. I actually applied and was accepted to a JD program in HK, and will be heading there this fall.
