Ralph Roberts remembered

Created Comcast. For that, he's on par with Bin Laden in my eyes

His company single-handedly ended the Curse of Billy Penn and brought a World Series title to town by putting the great Quaker back atop the city.

Just saw that Comcast founder Ralph Roberts passed away. Did they try unplugging him for 30 seconds and plugging him back in?

Wrong. American Dream would be giving the company to your admin on the way out the door.

How much more would people love capitalism if it weren't for banks, airlines, and cable companies?
