Hey, you obviously don't know much about GMU. It's known nationwide (and worldwide) for the business, law, and economics schools. And after this past March, for the basketball team too!

Gravis, you're too stupid to debate with, and I don't feel like trying to reply to your poorly formatted posts. You do not exhibit the ability to read or comprehend the English language. You make one inane comment, and when you get torn into because of it, you change your position and state that you *actually* meant something completely different.
