On the other hand, providing education to people who cannot afford it is probably one of the greatest legacies a person could leave.

What circumstances you ask? unlikely people with means are afforded equal footing in top notch education. unlikely people with money to leave/make opportunities for others. Unlikely someone who couldn't afford to finish school would succeed beyond wildest expectations. Unlikely given the history someone could rise to the ranks of university president. All this is very possible but on the day to day unlikely. That is part of what makes this "charitable act" so special.

I wondered why the Hell she was on the show. Why don't she and her father go away. No one is interested in what they have to say. Cheney is an arrogant, racist and needs to fade into the wood work.

Other speakers got full time. What gives here? Do you hate Republicans so much that you cant even be polite.????? I felt sorry for her and wonderd how she could be so polite. think about it.

The credit card companies no longer want good customers who pay bills on time- they want customers who are in trouble so they can make money off of their problems. I have literally let store credit cards go into collection and settled on amounts to get out from under manufactured fees. My sister and I have a new motto-no money no shoppie!

I had no other option but to head back to school! Right now, My husband and I are both in school, and I feel that these "community colleges" provide just as significant and effective education as the four year college! Sincerely, Brooke Anderson,
