    Yea... bring on the nepotism. I guess im just really sick of all this crap. He will get the best training and eventually will probably be world class... just like Bradley who though mediocre at best did have the best training and opportunities an American kid could get..

    While the rest of us have to pay thousands of dollars and apparrently relocate to the nearest USSDA in order for our kids to get a peak.
