Kevin Hogan's in a rotten mood this week.

He's talking about the stupidity of boycotting Big Oil in the first article here (in the upper right corner) and, in the article about Will Power, he says

Want to give your kids powerful suggestions to succeed in life?

Never teach your kid get to "get a job."
Teach your kid to PRODUCE.
To CREATE VALUE.
To make people happy.
To decide what they truly want and get them to commit to a Plan and DO IT.

I'll tell you this: I don't really know what it takes for me to succeed, but I know that the most powerful lessons I learned growing up haven't done it for me yet. These things he's saying weren't part of my catechism.
