re: Trust the MBA, not the shopkeeper
There's nothing wrong with MBAs as such, but I would have a lot more respect for the opinions of an MBA, or a CEO of Exxon, that also had some experience running a business on their own, even a gas station.
There are a hell of a lot of things you don't learn in business school, and far too many people are put in charge of corporations in this country that have absolutely no other experience outside of getting a college education.
Come to that, I wouldn't mind a president that had been something other than a lawyer or a politician in their lifetime. Go back and look at the last few elections.
