It really is a wonderful scam. You're so right, if GS failed we'd just be punishing the world.

You're little comment about "THE WAY THE BANKING SYSTEM WORKS" is so insightful.

Everyone that doesn't support taxpayer bailouts of investment banks are ignorant of the banking system and can't comprehend how it works.

I'm not even going to bother with the rest. If you can't imagine any way for the government to fix the problem other than handing out public money to private companies you're a sheep.

Yeah, I mean we couldn't let GS fail, GS IS AMERICA!
Re:There are 5,057 janitors in the U.S. with PhDs on Friday October 22, 2010 @01:58PM (#1820682)
It would be more useful to know how many people with a bachelor's degree are under-employed against their will. A computer science graduate working as a janitor because he can't find a job is a problem. If after his course work he decides he wants to be a janitor, that's a different story.

What their majors were, and what college they were from would also be informative as other replies noted.

The treatment for ADHD is Adderall. Regardless of if ADHD is real or not, Adderall is nothing like any Homeopathy treatment.

Most American babies are born around August and September:

Which happens to be the cut off date for Kindergarten in many states.

Since most children are born in Aug/September, you'd probably have the most premature births around then too right?

Premature children are 70% more likely to have ADHD:

Could it be that a lot of premature children happen to come right before the early/mid September deadline at the peak of the "birthing season"?

If the relationship between ADHD and prematurity is correct, these children would face a double whammy...being young for their grade and ADHD.
