Only in certain situations. I don't like to use a person due to their influence because I sure as hell wouldn't want to be used. If there is something I couldn't get because I didn't know the right person, that's okay with me. I'd rather do it my way alone than having to depend on someone else.

That is one of life's sad little truths. Have you seen how rich and powerful George Bush's friends have become.
Rumsfeld was worth $100,000 when he took up with Bush. Now neither he nor we can count the BILLIONS he is worth. Bush, coruption and oil have been good to not only him but hundreds of others.
And it all started with WHO they knew.
Even Bush got his political start because of friends of his father. They didn't get enough of what they wanted while he was in office, so they put his son there. Now, look at the price of gas. Ever wonder why it didn't skyrocket until Bush's second term?

Depends on the situation you are in. Say you lived on an island alone, you grew your own food, built your own house, and was happy alone. Would you need those "who"'s? I know a lot of people, but you don't always need to know people to be able to get along in life comfortably. I myself, prefer knowledge.

In the real world, yes that's the truth. Too bad they teach the opposite in schools.

Yes. I think that is probably the case about 70% of the time....maybe more.

In certain situations, yes.

Nope...because who you know won't be there when you're faced with situations where only what you know can help you.
