		<description>&quot;They didn&#039;t start out being known as the Little Rock Nine but now they &lt;br&gt;are in America&#039;s history books together.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;um, not in any of MY history books - i am pretty sure we only talked about MLK in history and when Black History Month rolled around, we talked about a few people for maybe the first week. everything else i learned on my own or in college</description>

		<description>Miranda,&lt;br&gt;Here is an excellent read on the crapshoot game DERIVATIVES and the hustlers on Wall Street....the dope man hires boys as runners and so DID Wall Street ..excerpt:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To this day, the willingness of a Wall Street investment bank to pay me hundreds of thousands of dollars to dispense investment advice to grownups remains a mystery to me. I was 24 years old, with no experience of, or particular interest in, guessing which stocks and bonds would rise and which would fall. The essential function of Wall Street is to allocate capital—to decide who should get it and who should not. Believe me when I tell you that I hadn’t the first clue. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I’d never taken an accounting course, never run a business, never even had savings of my own to manage. I stumbled into a job at Salomon Brothers in 1985 and stumbled out much richer three years later, and even though I wrote a book about the experience, the whole thing still strikes me as preposterous—which is one of the reasons the money was so easy to walk away from. I figured the situation was unsustainable. Sooner rather than later, someone was going to identify me, along with a lot of people more or less like me, as a fraud. Sooner rather than later, there would come a Great Reckoning when Wall Street would wake up and hundreds if not thousands of young people like me, who had no business making huge bets with other people’s money, would be expelled from finance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2008/11/11/The-End-of-Wall-Streets-Boom&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Spirit,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dang!  I would die from the cold. I hate cold!  We had a few flakes of snow here on Wednesday and people were going nuts at the sight. It melted as soon as it hit the ground.  We don&#039;t get to see snow flakes that often, so it was kinda exciting to some.  No way I could live where you are, I wouldn&#039;t survive 24 hours!</description>
