I think the person who made the last comment is an idiot and have absolutely no idea of what to comment on. I am pretty sure this person is one of the many Liberians that always think that education is everything. Please don't get me wrong, education is the key to many successes in this world that we live in today. Mr. Dee that I don't know have work his whole entire life being the best engineer in his discipline that he could be and now that he has succeeded in some what by taking over one of the largest… [Read Full Text]
Thanks Mr. O for your comments. I may not know Mr. Dee but I am happy for his accomplishments so far. We Liberians are so naive in our thinking and self destructive. Instead of us been happy for Dee achievements, we are on here criticizing him by saying he is not a heavy or not highly educated, The guy hold a BA and Master degrees what education do you want him to get in other for one to acknowledge him. So because he is not a Phd degree holder so he not educated? I just obtained my BA in… [Read Full Text]

I would like to thank Mr. Dee for his achievement so far. I wish him the best in his endeaver.
This is a great achievement for a fellow Liberian, which demands commendable applauds. But it is unfortunate that this poor analysis of the US economy, along with Mr. Dee's "not [being] a heavy weight in the education department",whatever that means, is a dis-service to Mr. Dee.
And judging from Mr. Dee's experience in the area the years and the area of responsibilities,it is ridiculous to say he is not educated enough.
To the author of this comment, I would like to comment your aforesaid prespositions such as Mr. Dee is not a heavy weight in the education department and the United Stated of America is in depression. With respect to your first preposition, you failed to explain being a heavy weight in the education department. Having said that, you left the reading public in a state of dought. If you were my student and presented this work to me, I will give you "F" because your preposition is relative, and not specific.

Notre bena///how the respondants use a pre fix to Dees name and extol things about a person whose historical perspectives is originating from a shabbly written story from a third world news paper.I shall assume that the writers vide infra are not in Liberia presently but have undergone economic migration to the USA and are now comfortable on public assistance ,living in a public housing project, on food stamps and work occasionally at a labour pool as a day laborer.In America the educational level has shifted upward, a college degree is not thyat significant as it was twenty… [Read Full Text]
