Was this simply due to slowness and fewer assignments, or wifely extravagance, or expensive tastes?Bob Rivardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345116240123706105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-2388958090153575062014-09-20T09:56:48.331-04:002014-09-20T09:56:48.331-04:00Hi Bob - You make a good point.

Don't compromise your livelihood and your worth by drinking and gambling and being unreliable. Don't give away your ideas without ownership. Painting Kane as "the bad guy" just reinforces the stereotype of liberal teachers belittling achievers and doers, and deifying victims as role models.Bob Rivardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345116240123706105noreply@blogger.com
