There is another method of obtaining money. . .

Knowledge is power. If it is not applied properly to create, let there be no doubts, it will destroy.
The efficiency of a President at the beginning of his term depends on their capacity to get everything under control. That was my case.

We live in a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants, in a world that has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.
