Mr. Krasnoff: I would have a lot more respect for your position if you were a high school drop out, you were raised in poor single parent home where drug abuse was the norm, if you were living on the streets before you were 18, you had no job skills and no prospects or contacts that might help you find a career. If you have overcome these or other similar factors you have my apology and my respect, otherwise I think your arrogance is misplaced. Michael Atherton Prospect Park REMINDERS: 1.
