Hmm, I'm not sure I would call is uselessness, but from a very early age I made my teachers earn their pay. If I am going to sit in a room then I damn well better be learning something - otherwise I have other things to do. So I learned early to challenge them - nicely, of course. With very few exceptions they rose to the challenge. I did make several of them cry and tell my parents that I was difficult but the majority appreciated the challenge. There are plenty of crappy teachers out there, elementary, high school and college - but if you insist on getting something out of it you usually do.
All this being said, there are plenty of horses that I wish I could have seen run, and musicians I wish I had seen perform. I'll have to be satisfied with what I can get now.
Maybe 70 years from now someone will have a similar poll and people will answer with horses like Rags to Riches, Invasor, Street Sense and the rest of the usual suspects - and I will have been fortunate enough to see them in my lifetime.
Enjoy today and every day!
