  1. The most dangerous contract is one that favors one party over the other. This unbalance often occurs when the strongest party (probably the one with the best lawyer, and the money) drafts the contract and presents it to the other party on a take-it-or-leave-it-basis. The problem is that people are sometimes desperate, an take it rather than leave it. Mere unbalanced contracts are not necessarily illegal, but those who overreach and to lop-sided can be found to be unenforcable under the equitiable doctrine of UNCONSCIONABILITY. Employment agreement can be this kind of contract.
  2. Some people sign contracts that are not far from just admitting "Heads They Win, Tells You Lose." But, what's worse is that a lot of people sign contracts that are not far from being "Heads You Win, Tails I Lose". Courts will face a close question of whether a contract is illegal, or not, when it says things that are like "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose." Here is a case where a coin was actually flipped. It had a heads and a tails, but the flipper had ideas of how to win both ways: "R. D. Ryno JR. owned Bavarian Motors, an automobile dealership in Fort Worth, Texas.n On March 5,
  3. Some people trust others, more than they trust themselves. I think that is a dangerous thing to do. Of course, I could be wrong, in some cases. But, I think I am wright in a lot of cases. If I could trust other people, as much as I trust myself, I could just leave my doors unlocked, and a big door mat in front of it with the word WELCOME written on it. I could also leave my bank account as wide open as a case knife. Nevertheless, I don't trust ANYONE. I don't even trust my medical doctor, my wife, my mother, my father, my brother, or my sister. I keep my doors locked, even though I h
  4. I often wonder if other educators, who live in the same culture you live in, mat be biased on about certain things that you are not biased on. With that said, I think everybody has biased about certain things. I think it's just human nature. If people were not at lease a little biased, there would be no cultural differences for anyone to deal with. In other words, it's not just language that divides us. I went yo college in marketing, and found that I was being taught things that would help be fit into a chain of command. But, I was not interested in learning how to fit into a chain of co
  5. I have a Comcast bundle deal. Their internet service is faster than DSL, and their phone is just as good. I also get TV service. My bill is about $103.00 a month, which is TV, Phone, and high speed net. I also have MagicJack, but I'm just playing with it to see if I like it.
  6. There are people, in this country, who lay people like carpets. And, it doesn't mean, a woman man type thing as much as it does a people to people thing. Advertisers (I took a college course in advertising, so I do know a little about it) know how to lay the people carpet. And, they DO lay them so they can walk on them for the longest period of time. If you took a college course in "advertising" you would understand what I'm talking about, a little better. I know it's easier to tell people what they want to hear, and that is what "advertisers" are good at. But I'm also good at telling
  7. The better American companies (if they get the opportunity to take another crack at the Cuban economy) lay them the longer they will be able to walk on them, Animal!
  8. Did you know that Havana Cuba is closer to Atlanta than New York City. These people are closer neighbors. If Al Queada attacked these neighbors, being closer to us, would we respond like we did in regard to New York City? Havana is 727.6 miles from Atlanta, and it's 888 to New York City from Atlanta. that is a distance of 160.4 closer to us.
  9. How much deregulation would it take for United States citizens to start seeing how dictators can pretend a country is a democracy. http://youtu.be/8ILjG9VTIs4
  10. These people have survived a forty year embargo against them. I'm sure it is hard for them, but they are dancing in the streets now, because they want the private sectors running their country again. It will depend, I guess, on better regulation of companies this time around. I want to go as soon as I think it is safe.
  11. If American companies can do this in Cuba, and Castro stopped it from happening. Where did these American companies go? You're right; back home to us. Have you ever felt like the people in Cuba must have felt? Have you ever heard that deregulation, of private companies, will help the trickle down economic theory take affect? How do you think lack of regulation help the Cuban people, in the 1950's? This is a bigger country. How long is it going to take for the private companies to get the deregulation they need to do the American people like some of the companies were do
  12. The American Mofia controlled and built hotels, casinos, and other tourist services. Headed by Meyer Lansky, they made huge sums of money, and always handed Fulgencio Batista a cut. In 1958, the Hotel Riviera went up. All of this attracted more tourism, while Cubans were forced into prostitution and poverty. American business also increased its hold on Cuba. Cuban exports to the US decreased as US exports to Cuba increased. The US owned a quarter of bank deposits in Cuba, 90% of the electric and telephone services, and half the public railways. The United States was so powerful in
  13. Thanks for being you, now, and I'm sure it will last forever, Jola! Your signature says it all. "It's never too late to be who you might have been."
  14. How is it possible then, for the pie peaces to be like this, in 2007, and probably no better in 2010. It seems to me that our middle class is being hit from both ends. I don't know how much longer they can hold out. Half of America has only 25% of the wealth. That's not good for that half.
  15. Our society wound improve greatly if other people were approached with the wonderful ideas you just approached me with. You, and Suze Orman, both have good ideas. I just wish your ideas could reach as many people as Suze's do. Susie says, "it's better to live in a small house that you own, no matter how lacking it is in stair cases, than to live in a mansion on a hill, if you don't own it."
  16. That is very true, wfal? Nor being able to teach what people want to learn is something a licensed teacher faces, where as an educator who uses a common sense mentality, without a license, can teach people things they want to learn without as many restrictions. Leading a horse to water, which the horse may thinks is not palatable, would be one reason he/she doesn't want to drink it. I learned a lot from my school teachers, but they were not allowed to teach me some very important things. I definitely needed to know these things from an educator, somehow, because my parents were so
  17. Sounds like somebody knows something about the future of our economy. I think the health care industry want be far behind Mickie D's. My granddaughter just got her RN (Registered Nurse)license. Maybe she will stay working, in the ER, where she is now, or she might decide to get into health issues that are not as traumatic.
  18. What type people do you like? Ask yourself if a push over is more to your liking? If you decide that push over are the type people you like; what does that say about yourself? I'm not asking that you answer on the board, but to answer to yourself. Do you enjoy being in the presents of a push over? Are you more comfortable in a room full of pushovers? Would you like it better is everybody were much easier for you to push over? Do you like people who will bow down when you need a door mat to wipe your feet on?
  19. A person can tell when someone is an educator, by what they say. Even if they ask questions there are other people who learn from the questions asked by them. There are people, however, who intends to disrupt learning. For some reason they don't want people to know the lesson an educators is attempting to teach. Have you ever experienced that scenario?
  20. The only thing I care about is the United States of America. The people who live within it's boundaries are my best friends. I am not running for public office, and would not run for public office, I just care. I give a sheeze, that is not bull sheeze. People who run for public office doesn't have the freedom to say the things I have the freedom to say. I have no reason to say what I say, like getting paid. I don't want to get paid for anything I say. I earned my keep by working in the construction business, and many other type businesses, for well over 50 years. I love women, li
  21. Teachers teach, and educators educate. You have to have a license to teach (as in school) but an educator (as in sharing common sense understanding) requires no license. These two identities can also be the same. I don't know how to distinguish between the two, enough to tell other people exactly what I mean. But, I can distinguish between these two identities in my own mind. I have learned a lot from some very good teachers, but I have also learned a lot from people who don't call themselves teachers, and not even educators. But if they are not teachers, I think of them as educa
  22. Push overs are like furniture, we can move them around in the room to where ever we want them. They are easy to get along with, and can even be used as a foot rest if we move them close enough to the couch. But, people who like furniture more than they do other people are just not good at communicating anything but control of their own environment. The best people are the ones who stand up, speak out, and talk back, when you are communicating with them. Even the other people listening to the communication are learning something. I like P.com for the very reason that good informatio
