keeping america great…

CNBC had this hour-long special, in a town-hall format, titled, “Keeping America Great“. It was a Q&A with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Learned a little there. For one, I did not know Warren Buffett was one of the voices in the wilderness shouting against CDOs. I also didn’t know that trains move freight over 400 miles, using just 1 Gallon of Diesel. That tidbit came out when a 1st year student asked why Buffett was buying Burlington Northern.

Overall, it was an hour well spent… Take a look for yourself. Here’s the transcript if ya need it.

Other men draw a larger circle and bring within their brothers and sisters.
But some men have a great destiny. They must draw around themselves a circle that includes many, many more.
