My FB friend Mimi Chen said : I resent this woman's arrogance that she thinks she can speak for all Chinese mothers. My mom was completely different. Her main concern was just that I have a good piano teacher and that was it. I did everything myself."

I lost my mom when I was young, and I was terrified of my dad. Asian parents don't try to be friends with their kids. Don't know if Chua's way (or my dad's way) is better. Kids may achieve, but they fear their parents. It's a very different relationship compared to Western kids and their parents. Maybe it's the rice culture, the evolution from growing rice to survive. It's back breaking, long days of work, so Asians apply that work ethic to education and everything. Generally, Asian American parents can't be as strict here, kids don't go for it.

i'm not sure Glass Steagall would prevent this crisis. AIG was an insurance company, and TBTF failed is the links among them with CDS. It was the investment banks that seemed to trigger the crisis, Bear Stearns first. Then Lehman going under froze the financial system with commercial paper, money markets. They let big commercial banks, thrifts like Wachovia and WaMu go under.

Sound = boring ?

Regulating derivatives would help, requiring writers to CDS to have enough collateral to cover the contract, under of being naked like AIG.

Tiger has everything to prove. He's been targeting Nicklaus' majors record since he was a teenager. He is the best at scrambling from the rough. He will too from his private monkey business. I can't believe he's 34. I remember him winning the Master's at 19 like yesterday. Tiger is built to play golf, if he doesn't play he will lose his purpose. He's not going into coaching. Athletes like Tiger don't end up as coaches.
