MBA teaches analysis, when energy/creativity needed at start-ups

Simon Woodroffe, Founder Of Yo! Sushi, said to the Independent in 2005: "It's not the person with the MBA who is running the business. MBAs think that if they do what business school teaches in terms of analysis, then they will be successful but it's just not true. Business is not entirely logical. It requires a plan but things don't go according to plan. I subscribe to the Alan Sugar view that business is about making things happen, about energy, drive and enthusiasm - not about analysis and theory."[4] He says the risk with an MBA for entrepreneurs is "paralysis by analysis."
MBA offers strategy and managerial skills useful anywhere

"Pros and cons of MBA." MBA Pursuit: "An MBA does help if you want to improve your strategic-thinking skills, develop your leadership abilities, and foster managerial effectiveness. Every business needs a manager, whether it is a non-profit organization, a university, or a startup. So even if you are, say, a civil engineer for a government engineering department or a salaried artist at a museum, you can use your technical knowledge and gain a business background to be managers of your company."
An MBA is a great investment

"The Pros and Cons Revisited." To MBA or not to MBA. May 6th, 2008: "I no longer have doubts about the ROI. I would have earned a perfectly good salary w/o an MBA but I now have far, far more options about when/where/how/why/what in the way of career. The intangible rewards are huge and make it all worthwhile for me. (The post-MBA earnings should be pretty good too.) However .... this is not true for all career paths/people ... do your own calculations."
MBA is valued currency in any business or organization

Dr. Ranee Kaur Banerjee. "Top 10 reasons to get an MBA." Bright Hub. June 8th, 2010: "An MBA is like the US Dollar; it is a good legal tender because every major employer anywhere in the world knows its basic value and most HR professionals recognize what the organization is likely to get in exchange for your MBA qualification. The essential elements you will be taught in any MBA program remain more or less the same and therefore, even if you apply for a job across the globe and your prospective employer is not familiar with the school you went to, your MBA will probably go in your favor. [...] It is not an accident that the MBA is the most popular post-graduate management qualification on Earth."
Some of the best businessmen don't have MBAs

Francesca Di Meglio. "Save your cash." Business Week. May 15th, 2007: "Some of the best businesspeople I know don’t even have an undergraduate degree, let alone an advanced one. During the Internet boom, people dropped out of the best undergraduate and MBA programs to pursue once-in-a-lifetime career opportunities. Famous MBA dropouts include Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Steve Ballmer and filmmaker Georgia Lee, who left Harvard Business School and was discovered by Martin Scorsese."
On-the-job training much better than MBA

"Why Achieving an MBA is No Longer My Goal." Cash Money Life. April 13th, 2009: "Seizing opportunity by growing my small business. Part of becoming an MBA is learning to recognize things like return on investment and opportunity cost. Right now I realize that my business is providing me the things I was seeking from an MBA program – in terms of increased income, a challenge, and learning new skills. I am the CEO of my company… and the CFO, chief marketing officer, secretary, technical writer, and everything in between. I wear a lot of hats around here, and it has been an incredible learning experience."
MBA is a great way to make a career change

Dr. Ranee Kaur Banerjee. "Top 10 reasons to get an MBA." Bright Hub. June 8th, 2010: "#5: 'I will be able to change the course of my career if I get an MBA' Say you're a software engineer. You know you're good at what you do but lately, you haven't been feeling very satisfied. You think you could do more but you don't know what or how. You should definitely consider an MBA course. It will give you the wherewithal to consider other things you can do with your core knowledge of software programming."
MBA is expensive with painful monthly payments.

Depending on if you go to a state school or a private school, or if you have financial assistance or someone else paying for the degree, an MBA can vary in price. But, for most, it will cost about $20,000 - 40,000 per year. Every month during the course, and/or after, you will have to make very heavy monthly tuition/loan payments. This is real money coming out of your bank account in big chunks every month for years to come. This is no small investment. It's a hugely expensive investment, and often a risky one.
MBA may not teach needed info for higher jobs

"The Pros and Cons Revisited." To MBA or not to MBA. May 6th, 2008: "I'm still unconvinced that I need to attend an academic program to learn what I need for my work - honestly, while the GSB is above its peers on academics, I was hired based on my pre-MBA knowledge and could probably function just fine in my summer internship on my work experience and CFA alone. I am learning things but not as much as a career changer would."
The focus should be on saving energy, not producing more by wind

Eric Rosenbloom. "A Problem With Wind Power". 5 Sept. 2006 - "It is wise to diversify the sources of our energy. But the money and legislative effort invested in large-scale wind generation could be spent much more effectively to achieve the goal of reducing our use of fossil and nuclear fuels. As an example, Country Guardian calculates that for the U.K. government subsidy towards the construction of one wind turbine, they could insulate the roofs of almost 500 houses that need it and save in two years the amount of energy the wind turbine might produce over its lifetime. Country Guardian also calculates that if every light bulb in the U.K. were switched to a more efficient one, the country could shut down an entire power plant—some-thing even Denmark, with wind producing as much as 20% of their electricity, is not able to do."
Wind energy survives because it is heavily subsidized

"Subsidies for wind power blow over". Industrial Wind Action Group. 23 Aug. 2008: "Creating a welfare-dependent industry in the province may benefit the backers of these projects, but the potential cost to taxpayers is huge, and the outlook for an unsubsidized industry is grim. ...The wind power industry in Canada gets a federal government subsidy of $10 per megawatt hour. But B.C. consumers can expect to dig deeper. The cost of electricity from wind power is about $71 per megawatt hour. That compares to about $48 for natural gas and $25 for electricity produced from B.C.'s heritage hydro assets."
The number of birds killed by wind turbines is relatively low

"Danger to birds is often the main complaint against the installation of a wind turbine, but actual numbers are very low: studies show that the number of birds killed by wind turbines is negligible compared to the number that die as a result of other human activities such as traffic, hunting, power lines and high-rise buildings and especially the environmental impacts of using non-clean power sources. For example, in the UK, where there are several hundred turbines, about one bird is killed per turbine per year; 10 million per year are killed by cars alone.[3] In the United States, turbines kill 70,000 birds per year, compared to 57 million killed by cars and 97.5 million killed by collisions with plate glass. An article in Nature stated that each wind turbine kills on average 0.03 birds per year, or one kill per thirty turbines.[4]
Wind energy production is inconsistent relative to demand

Mark Landler. "Sweden Turns to a Promising Power Source, With Flaws". New York Times. November 23, 2007 - "Sweden’s gleaming wind park is entering service at a time when wind energy is coming under sharper scrutiny, not just from hostile neighbors, who complain that the towers are a blot on the landscape, but from energy experts who question its reliability as a source of power.
Wind energy production is often too far from demand

Mark Landler. "Sweden Turns to a Promising Power Source, With Flaws". New York Times. November 23, 2007 - "to capture the best breezes, wind farms are often built far from where the demand for electricity is highest. The power they generate must then be carried over long distances on high-voltage lines, which in Germany and other countries are strained and prone to breakdowns. In the United States, one of the areas most suited for wind turbines is the central part of the country, stretching from Texas through the northern Great Plains — far from the coastal population centers that need the most electricity."
Wind turbines can disrupt the scenery of a community

Chatham, Ontario businessman Harry Verhey told Chatham Sunrise Rotary Club members, "The recent proliferation of industrial wind projects will have a negative impact on the community. The massive size of industrial wind turbines conflicts with the scale and character of the Chatham-Kent landscape."[7] It is notable that wind is often most active on mountains or ocean sides, where the scene is most beautiful, and where wind turbines have the most potential to disrupt the natural beauty.
All energy sources need back-ups; wind energy is not uniquely bad

"Wind energy myths". Wind Powering America. May 2005 - 4 Wind energy is unpredictable and must be “backed up” by conventional generation. No power plant is 100% reliable. During a power plant outage—whether a conventional plant or a wind plant—backup is provided by the entire interconnected utility system. The system operating strategy strives to make best use of all elements of the overall system, taking into account the operating characteristics of each generating unit and planning for contingencies such as plant or transmission line outages. The utility system is also designed to accommodate load fluctuations, which occur continuously. This feature also facilitates accommodation of wind plant output fluctuations. In Denmark, Northern Germany, and parts of Spain, wind supplies 20% to 40% of electric loads without sacrificing reliability. When wind is added to a utility system, no new backup is required to maintain system reliability
Wind farms build piecemeal, generating revenue from first windmill

"The Future of Energy. Trade winds". Economist.com. Jun 19th 2008 - "wind farms can be built piecemeal, unlike most power stations. A half-finished coal-fired or nuclear power plant is a useless waste of money, but a half-finished wind farm is simply a wind farm half the size originally intended—and one that has been providing revenue since the first turbine was completed."
Arizona immigration law will increase lawsuits and costs

Michael Gerson. "A test of Arizona's political character." Washington Post. April 28, 2010: "The government of Arizona, it turns out, has been ambushed by its own legislature. If this vague law is applied vigorously, the state will be regularly sued by citizens who are wrongfully stopped. But if the law is not applied vigorously enough, it contains a provision allowing citizens to sue any agency or official who 'limits or restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws.' Either way, lawyers rejoice."
Arizona law creates environment of fear and recrimination

Raul A. Reyes. "Arizona's un-American immigration law." Los Angeles Times. April 28th, 2010: "many of Arizona's roughly 2 million Latinos are wondering about how this law will affect their personal freedom. They are concerned for their children's safety. They are searching for identification documents for older relatives. Many Latinos, no doubt, will be afraid to venture out without 'papers,' even if they are legal residents or U.S. citizens. This type of fear has no place in our society."
Arizona law will return jobs back to the American people.

[6] "The wide array of statistics available from government and private sector sources leads to this conclusion: Unemployment disproportionately hits unskilled, uneducated blacks and native-born Hispanics. Why? It is simple, business economics: (1) In the unskilled labor market, legal workers offer no greater productivity than comparable illegal ones; (2) legal hiring requires employers to conform to U.S. law; and (3) citizen new hires often expect benefits. In short, more illegal workers cost employers less."
Arizona cops will justly apply "reasonable suspicion" of illegals

Kris Kobach. "Why Arizona Drew a Line." New York Times. April 28th, 2010: "[Argument:] 'Reasonable suspicion' is a meaningless term that will permit police misconduct. [Counter-argument:] Over the past four decades, federal courts have issued hundreds of opinions defining those two words. The Arizona law didn’t invent the concept: Precedents list the factors that can contribute to reasonable suspicion; when several are combined, the 'totality of circumstances' that results may create reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. [...] For example, the Arizona law is most likely to come into play after a traffic stop. A police officer pulls a minivan over for speeding. A dozen passengers are crammed in. None has identification. The highway is a known alien-smuggling corridor. The driver is acting evasively. Those factors combine to create reasonable suspicion that the occupants are not in the country legally."
Arizona immigration law causes parents to send students elsewhere

University of Arizona, Office of the President. "SB 1070 - Arizona's New Immigration Law." Huffington Post. April 20th, 2010: "We have already begun to feel an impact from SB1070. The families of a number of out-of-state students (to date all of them honors students) have told us that they are changing their plans and will be sending their children to universities in other states. This should sadden anyone who cares about attracting the best and brightest students to Arizona."
Cops will trump up charges in order to find illegals

Shikha Dalmia. "Arizona's Law: Anti-Immigrant And Anti-Constitutional." Forbes. April 5th, 2010: "The amended law limits such inquiries to instances when cops make a lawful stop, detention or arrest in the course of enforcing some other law or local ordinance. But including local ordinances as grounds for an immigration inquiry opens all kinds of tantalizing harassment possibilities for officials like Joe Arpaio--the notorious but popular Arizona sheriff who has made it his personal mission to root out undocumented aliens from the state by launching crime sweeps in Latino communities on the flimsiest of pretexts. [...] Under the new law, Arpaio could troll Hispanic neighborhoods demanding the papers of anyone breaking, say, a local pooper-scooper law while walking their dogs."
Arizona merely enforces law that aliens carry papers

Stan Sudero. "Arizona's law has national support." The Reporter. May 2nd, 2010: "As far as the so-called "show me your papers law," federal law has long dictated that every alien, 18 years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession proof of alien registration. Failure to comply can result in a misdemeanor conviction, $100 fine and/or 30 days imprisonment for each violation."
Illegal immigrants in Arizona pose threat to security

Andrew Fair. "Arizona immigration law is sound, needed." Watertown Daily News. May 6th, 2010: "Obviously, some find it easier to cry out that Arizona's action is unfair and mean-spirited. Regrettably, most American citizens are not fully aware of the illegal immigration crisis this country is experiencing. Any notion of a mass amnesty is foolish and will only worsen the problem, encouraging more aliens to enter the United States illegally and further reward those who have already violated our laws. The solution begins with proactive enforcement of immigration laws at all levels of government. We must remember that the events of 9-11 occurred due to our failure to enforce existing immigration law."
Arizona law causes distrust of police, undermines enforcement

Eugene Robinson. "Arizona's new immigration law is an act of vengeance." April 27, 2010: "One of the concrete problems with the law treating undocumented immigrants as criminals is that it gives those without papers a powerful incentive to stay as far away from police as possible. This will only make it more difficult for local police to investigate crimes and track down fugitive offenders, because no potential witness who is undocumented will come forward."
Arizona law puts police under contradicting missions

Joel Jacobsen, assistant attorney general, criminal appeals division for New Mexico: "This obviously puts police in an impossible situation because it requires them to pursue two goals simultaneously: to enforce the immigration laws; and to enforce the criminal laws, keep the peace, provide assistance, and all the other ordinary tasks of police officers. Which goal should they pursue? It will frequently not be possible to do both, because the officer will be required to arrest perpetrator and victim both, and the punishment experienced by the victim of a violent crime will frequently be more severe and life-disrupting – deportation – than that experienced by the perpetrator – a night in jail, perhaps."[4]
Arizona has right to fight illegal immigration w/o federal authorization

Kris Kobach. "Why Arizona Drew a Line." New York Times. April 28th, 2010: "[Myth:] State governments aren’t allowed to get involved in immigration, which is a federal matter. [Counter-argument:] While it is true that Washington holds primary authority in immigration, the Supreme Court since 1976 has recognized that states may enact laws to discourage illegal immigration without being pre-empted by federal law. As long as Congress hasn’t expressly forbidden the state law in question, the statute doesn’t conflict with federal law and Congress has not displaced all state laws from the field, it is permitted. That’s why Arizona’s 2007 law making it illegal to knowingly employ unauthorized aliens was sustained by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit."
Arizona law does not allow for racial profiling

Kris Kobach. "Why Arizona Drew a Line." New York Times. April 28th, 2010: "The law will allow police to engage in racial profiling. Actually, Section 2 provides that a law enforcement official “may not solely consider race, color or national origin” in making any stops or determining immigration status. In addition, all normal Fourth Amendment protections against profiling will continue to apply. In fact, the Arizona law actually reduces the likelihood of race-based harassment by compelling police officers to contact the federal government as soon as is practicable when they suspect a person is an illegal alien, as opposed to letting them make arrests on their own assessment."
Arizona law will harass, jail Latinos w/o papers on them

"Editorial: Arizona immigration law a throwback to a sadder era." The Scramento Bee. Apr. 28, 2010: "Arizona is a state of about 6.6 million people, with about 15 percent foreign-born, according to the U.S. census. Under the new law, those who can't immediately prove they're working in the United States legally may find themselves detained by police as they go about daily life."
Arizona's immigration law is good test case for nation

George F. Will. "A law Arizona can live with." Dallas News. April 28, 2010: "Arizona's law might give the nation information about whether judicious enforcement discourages illegality. If so, it is a worthwhile experiment in federalism." In other words, the feasibility and efficacy of a law such as Arizona's is not entirely known yet, and so Arizona provides an very valuable test case to determine these things."
Arizona immigration law partly driven by racism

"Arizona law will invite racial profiling." Wiked Local. May 3, 2010: "It’s a scary piece of legislation that will invite racial profiling. What does an “illegal immigrant” look like? In Arizona’s case, it will be someone with brown skin. [...] The state that resisted a Martin Luther King holiday seems to relish discouraging people with darker shades of skin. [...] Arizona voters approved a King holiday in 1992, but only after a tourist boycott and loss of the 1993 Super Bowl, which was supposed to have been played in Tempe. This year’s action might cost the state baseball’s 2011 All-Star game."
Arizona immigration law awkward, but necessary

Jonah Goldberg. "Arizona's ugly but necessary immigration law." Los Angeles Times. April 29th, 2010: "I agree that there's something ugly about the police asking citizens for their 'papers.' (There's nothing particularly ugly about asking illegal immigrants for their papers, though.) There's also something ugly about American citizens being physically searched at airports, or about IRS agents prying into nearly all of your personal-financial transactions or, thanks to the passage of ObamaCare, serving as health insurance enforcers. In other words, many government functions are unappealing. That's not in itself an argument against them. The Patriot Act was ugly – and necessary."
Protecting our borders is a purely federal function

"Arizona Immigration Law is Constitutionally Trembling." The Barr Code. May 3rd, 2010: "Protecting our borders is in fact a singularly federal function; reflecting the fundamental responsibility of the national government to protect our sovereignty. Traditionally, and appropriately, states have not been permitted to assume federal government functions; just as Washington should not be permitted to assert powers properly left to the states. This split of enforcement authority – while in modern times often not honored by the federal government – is codified in the Constitution, including in the Tenth Amendment."
Arizona does not deport illegals, it encourages self-deportation

James Edwards. "Arizona Gets it Right on Illegal Immigration." Human Events. April 27th, 2010: "The law, which GOP Gov. Jan Brewer signed April 23, uses state police authority to step up pressure on illegal aliens. This should help force many to leave the state—and the country—on their own or else face time behind bars. [...] This measure promotes attrition through enforcement, the most reasonable, rational strategy on the enforcement side of the immigration equation."
Support for Arizona's law is understandable, but misguided

"Arizona law will invite racial profiling." Wiked Local. May 3, 2010: "That 70 percent of Arizonans support the measure is no surprise. Arizona and other border states have borne the brunt of the immigration battle. The federal government has failed to enact reasonable immigration reform. Arizona was desperate to do something to stem the tide of people who were entering the state illegally. [...] The cost of an escalating population, whether here legally or not, puts a drain on limited resources. New residents need food, shelter, schools and health care. [...] That doesn’t excuse the actions of Arizona lawmakers. To fix one problem, they’ve created another and unfairly marginalized hundreds of thousands of citizens. [...] Immigration is a federal job, and sadly, it’s a job that has been neglected."
Arizona illegal immigration law is indecent & mean-spirited

Richard Cohen. "In Arizona, immigration creates another Tea Party moment." Washington Post. April 27th, 2010: "Arizona's draconian new immigration law is an abomination -- racist, arbitrary, oppressive, mean-spirited, unjust. About the only hopeful thing that can be said is that the legislation, which Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed Friday, goes so outrageously far that it may well be unconstitutional."
Arizona law would strain federal govt with deportations

Shikha Dalmia. "Arizona's Law: Anti-Immigrant And Anti-Constitutional." Forbes. May 5th, 2010: "if states unilaterally start arresting undocumented aliens and dispatching them to the federal government for deportation, they will force the federal government to expend law enforcement resources on immigration when it might have other, more pressing, concerns such as, say, terrorism."
