Actually jtm, this is a huge problem. The stock criminals getting out of jail have often been kept with white collar criminals that teach the traditional "gangsters" how to leverage monies.

Sorry - I can't find the great NPR story on it last fall because at work we filter using the morons at eSafe that categorize everything as "Music" so I can't get there for fear I might download dangerous songs.

No seriously. I'll look for the article tonight after auditions I have to help with.

Serious as a sin, lady. There have been gangs in house-flipping scams, ID theft - skads of stuff they learned from white collars -- in return sometimes for protection.

It's good to know the criminal element of our society are raising their standards and educating themselves.

If I had 18 hours a day to study, I can't say I'd have the discipline. Maybe ambition isn't completely dead in America, just under indictment.

It would have to be an improvement to staring at the bars of your cell or your (I'm sure) very attractive bunk-mate.

Ok, jtmbls - you have me there. Maybe those options would motivate me. We don't give ourselves enough credit sometimes.
