It is harder to make a banker out of a horse thief than it is to make a horse thief out of a banker.?

Bankers aren't exactly known for their wild, reckless tendencies, but a horse theif might well adapt to life as a banker, not having to steal, etc. \nAlthough in my experience bankers are all theives in their own right.

NO, if you're a thief then it takes skill. Not just luck.

Yes it means that they were really close with similar personalities. It comes from the old stories about theive's honor. A thief might try to cheat you but would never try to rip off another thief. They are secretive and because of their common interests have a bond that no one else in the world can claim.\n\nHope this helps.

Absolutely.  There MUST be a debate between the "ins" and the "outs" (those IN power versus those OUT of power.)  It is the job of the INS to get away with as much monkey business as possible and it is the job of the OUTS to act as the watchdogs of the INS.  EVERY political party tries to get away with monkey business.  EVERYONE.  Of course there can be lesser parties but their impact is often to act as a spoiler for the two major parties (eg. 1912, 1948, 1968, 2000 elections)

I really think they did. He was trying to get is men in shape so that when they are trying to chase down a criminal they do not fall dead of heart attack or something. But with that said I am sure that was a better way of doing. Maybe they could have like put some money in a pot and who every lost the most won the money. He need to be tactful about it not rude and crude.

For whatever reason, the IRS has been pretty lenient on the 3 out of 5 year profit rule when it comes to horses.  Taypayers have been able to prove that it is common to lose money on horses more often than the IRS would like but still have a profit motive.

In my book, money is often the cause of unethical behaviors, thus having more money but no more brain would not safe Bush from himself.\nBut I like your "tongue in cheek" argument.

In my opinion the Rejoneodores are better. It  takes a tremendous amount of skill with the horse to take the bull down. All of it is done by leg work in controlling the horse and his actions. I have seen this in person and was fastinated by all of it. I also have it all on video.

From the way the question is worded, I would have to say that person A seems to be the better person since he has learned will power.  This isn't something easily done.  It at least shows that he's intelligent.  Person B sounds like Forrest Gump.\n\nIf you're asking which person has the higher moral value...well, you'll never know which of the two is better in that context until person B has an evil thought.  It is then, and only then, will you know if person B has the will power not to act on his evil thought.  However, if your hypothetical person B can never get an evil thought, then person B is the better one since he's all good.

Outsourcing is not against rules of economics, it is against the rules of Politics. The new laws in UK prove that politicians can go to any extent to protect their vote bank.

it's a matter of gaining the trust of the person. once you have that trust then the other person is more willing and pliable. not to mention some people are just that guillible or naive.

Try keying off of two or three races where you think a horse is a 'lock', then play around and mix up the other three or four races and of course...\n\nGood luck

They were never married.  Bliar has looked more like George's prison b**ch.  It reminds me of a line in The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy: "The president's job is not to have power but to distract attention away from the power."  Many a true word spoken in jest.  The moneylenders are in power.  Lenin said war is terrible but it's terribly profitable.  Check it out - bankers have financed both sides of most, if not all, of the armed conflicts of the last 300+ years.  I'm not joking.  No wonder there's so much fighting going on; remember: weapons cost money.  Did you know that most central banks, such as The Bank of England and The Federal Reserve, are private, for-profit, banks?!  Wtf?!  We were sold out long ago by politicians who claimed to be acting in our best interests.  Tony & George are just the latest in a long line of actors on the world stage - we are being played like suckers.  My girlfriend thinks politics should be like jury service and that the only perk should be doing your bit for society, not stuffing your pockets at society's expense.  Who knows?  It's hard to imagine any other system being able to f**k things up the as badly as the "professional" politicians have.

one makes profit (money) and the other doesn't

if you have a horse going off at 3-5 like Barbaro did today, you aren't gonna win much money betting on him unless you plunk down A LOT (100 or more) and even then, if Barbaro breaks his ankle, like he did, you lose bigtime.  It's not a safe way to make money.  The thing I like to do is do an exacta or trifecta in that situation.\n\nToday, I would have bet Barbaro with Brother Derek, Sweetnorthernsaint, and Bernadini finsihing 2nd and 3rd in a box.  It would have paid quite nicely, had Barbaro won.
