You really have the outlook of somebody who is making an investment 
rather than a revolutionary. You remind me of people calling in to Jim 
Cramer's cable tv show: "How do I know that these City of New Haven 
Municipal bonds will be worth more in 2020 than GMAC BBB bonds?"

This is why I put this on my home page at Columbia:

"a revolutionary career does not lead to banquets and honorary titles, 
interesting research and professorial wages. It leads to misery, 
disgrace, ingratitude, prison and a voyage into the unknown, illuminated 
by only an almost superhuman belief."
