" interesting correlation" not at all. people are too kind to you. millions of events have happened since Brown won. instead of making a statement of fact did it ever occur for you to ask on ET if there is a correlation.
I thought about going on a little rant/discouse about correlation vs. causation, but when the ignorance level dips as low as this guy, it's not worth the time.
ET is full of posters who don't know the difference. most of them probably went to college. draw your own conclusion about the resultant US international competitiveness.
Of course, a low ignorance level is a good thing, but we'll do your thinking for you and get your meaning.
