The most vociferous arguers say that “handouts” cause the “welfare mentality” and that we women ought not to be spoiled children who expect our government to [...]

Another Social Network? Sure. Why Not?

March 8, 2012

Yesterday I was talking by phone (how odd) to an entrepreneur who has built a niche social network, and I was telling him how difficult it would be to get funding for yet another social network, and how little we needed one, and …blah,blah,blah.
