  I am taking it that since you are "indeed Republican and relatively wealthy" that you are a born again christian, right wingnut, Bush supporter and believe that we should be in Iraq for another "100 to 1000 years" - McCain

  Most republicans I know think the war was a fucking stupid idea and that Bush was a traitorous bitch (and the new 2008 McCain as well)... am I the only one with this experience?

  I am taking it that you are a bitter, left-wing nut that vehemently advocates socialism from being so badly beaten down in this modern capitalistic society.

  Stereotypes, see what I did there?

  You still haven't explained why your at a design site. I fail to see how private equity has anything to do with design.

  Seems to me a rather limited vision of life, but I guess that's as far as some people go. Fortunately, they're not too many.

  • Being wealthy?– hedge1/2

    Not exactly: but thinking that that is the only best thing to do is.– Corvo2/2

  Ukit, private equity companies tend to remain private. Our clients are generally high net worth investors that value being discreet.

  • Private as in you can't tell us what you're company's called?– ukit

  Fair play to you for owning a company and making money. It obviously pleases you. i just mean what do you have in common with most people who gravitate here by virtue that money (aside from desirable for reasonable comfort) is not a major importance. Curious

  Judging by the rides thread, I'm guessing hedge here appreciates design more than he partakes in its antics...

  What are left of the die-hard Republicans on the east coast still view Bush as their hero, mentor and God. Even though Bush, his adminstration and the Republican party have bankruptied are country and our morality, killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi's raped their woman, abused and tortured prisoners, destroyed the global economy and environment and has made America a weak and feeble-minded land of dispair.

  So...uh...your pic is a generic looking stock image of a guy in a suit...and you can't reveal what company you own because "private equity firms are private?" Sorry if I'm a little unconvinced LOL
