From NPR Buying College Essays Is Now Easier Than Ever. But Buyer Beware Why are all these liberals up who are otherwise indifferent to or oppose the concept of objective morality so strongly and uniformly opposed cheating in college, such as the use of paper mills?

I am good at forecasting and investing, not because I am that smart, but because the competition is so wrong. These are the people I (and other investors) are competing against.
