Quote: I ask you, O wise members of the board, to help me come up with more of these questions!
Well, that ain't me, but I'll answer anyway.
The question you asked was about the "no pressure" sitch, "if he had a lot of money and wasn't worried about making a profit." One of my lit classes in college was "Utopias and Dystopias" (did you guess this was in 1984?) and it was always percolating with ideas new to someone.
What if he were in Steinbrenner's job, or Torre's? (Only asking because you portray him as a Yankee fan.) What if he could influence the governor, the prez, whomever, on some issue that touches one of his principles? (You know him, is it Iraq, post Katrina aid in Louisiana, stem cell research, returning the shuttles to duty, what?)
I'm guessing it was such a good experience because you had the chance to discuss principles near and dear, maybe clarify them a little in your own minds, and do it with respect.
You want to take a chance on an R talk coming from this? How about finding out the advice he'd give his best friend when they announce their engagement? What kind of guy does he want courting your daughter?
Don't worry about the login name. Instead, shoot for October 19, the anniversary of our nation's first war triumph as finalized in Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown in 1781. I think of it as the birth of the good old U.S. of A., because at that point, no one could argue against our independence. I even have cake that day each year.
Thanks,
