the kool-aid is tasting geat

thank the 17th amendment for that

Charles -- based on your other posts you seem to have two strikes against you-- 1) It doesn't appear you have the people skills to get ahead - 90% of management is people skills, 10% technical and 2) somehow you have ended up in Public Works which means government. While there are office politics in every job my experience is that gov't jobs are 90% politics whereas in the private sector it way smaller. Sounds like some poor decisions on your part.

I agree ---- My father put it in perspective for me years ago when I was about 10. My job was to clean the stalls (horse poop for those in the city). He was kind and was paying me 25 cents a day. Looking back on that job it was probably one of the more meaningful experiences that I can remember. He helps me remember that I was once there and never get to full of one's self.

Well if Europe is so great why is the birth rate below replacement. Throughout history the birth rate has been tied to parents expectations. If people feel good about the future they have more kids and if the future looks bleak they have less kids. Reality must really suck for you.

I'm sure that if I studied your statement a really long time I may find some grain of wisdom. But I have other things to do..... The DNC treats blacks worst than they were treated in slavery. You have to be blind not to see it.

From your rants Corbett I'm making a wild guess and would put you in the atheistic column, The more that I find out about atheistic the less respect that I have for them. My experience is they lack a basic moral compass, are full of themselves, generally aren't fun to be around, and are obsessed with religion. Most folks judge other folks by their deeds. Get a life.

A more critical fact is that bread was once a nickel a loaf.

concur.... Amity Shales book is a great read and put a human face on the folks that were 'helping' us in the depression --- great read!

Amen -- have a couple in my family.
