I love Shakespeare's Lady MacBeth who said, "I see no reason why we cannot kill
him" thinking now of Gadhafi. A dear female friend taught Shakespeare at the
high school level, and I pick her brain at GE luncheons. Everybody should read
Shakespeare. Have a nice weekend all!!!
Steve Jobs was a brilliantman but still just a man. To put him higher would be wrong. Mr. Jobs lived his life his way and not by rules, as he had as many struggles as everyone. His life was private but was totally in tune to his interest and with the world of sharks he had to deal with. It made sense he couldn't see Obama as strong, while his friendship with Bill Clinton. We sometime build a person much bigger the life and over look their faults. Without Mr. Job's inventions he would be just another American who died. I am grateful for the inventions he gave the World but I will keep it real as he did his life his way and may he rest in peace.
