In much the same way that a ColdFusion certification doesn't prove that a person is a good developer (it proves they're good at cramming for an exam), the degree doesn't prove critical thinking. > > - hillary beat herself (that's hot) just as much, if not more than, obama > > beat her. > > > > The "lucky man" knows what to leave to chance.
