I wrote a 42 page paper on broadcasting meeting the needs of minorities in Central New York and I did it by interviewing various minority community leaders when I wasnt working as a DJ from Midnight to 6 on WFBL. The paper got an A from all 5 professors. Hence the 4.0 and I made the Chancellors List that semester.
It never ceases to amaze me how, in my seven plus years of (pa-?)trolling the gambling forums, the very people who daily thus profess their gaming acumen just can't see that the winner is the guy with the best story. There is no right or wrong, but only a good story. (Unless, I think, you can make an even more convincing story of this "fact", itself.)
