   Not so in our family. We have women who went to prestigeous universities on scholaships and they graduated as engineers. No student debt! Some of them have gone to become rocket scientists, meaning that they work in companies that produce elements for rockets and they do research into Mars travel…One of them went to another prestigeous business school, and has an MBA, also on scholarship, and she’s a bank executive…One is an architect with her own firm… so there!

   My next-door neighbor’s story: She fired him and got a better lawyer, and ended up with the house. It cost her $25,000.00 and she had to take out another mortgage on it. The argument hinged on the fact that her mother gave her (the check was written to this woman, not to both of them) the downpayment to begin with…and the first lawyer focused on the community property side of the law, and wanted her to sign off on it.

   So, in real life you would divorce a man if he got some shmutz on his face, or a piece of toast on his mustache?

    What do ethics have to do with anything when it comes to capitalism(?) or any other political philosophy for that matter. It is all about the ruling class staying in power at any cost to the rest of the citizenry…

    I might have said in the past, that in parliamentary systems, where they govern by coalition those governments might be more ethical, but even there it is still about the near majority party sighning away ethics for the power…
