That, and the fact that the situations in the two areas were entirely different in everything that mattered. Herring does his best to confirm his racism and and the same time does his best to try to hide it. And he was an officer in the US Army? And some wonder why I have such a low opinion of the military as an institution? Thanks for the repost. Have you met rec.boat's resident racist? -- "John H" wrote in message ...

Everyone with half a brain knows exactly what Johnny is up to. He may be up to what ever you think (if you ever think) he is up to. But it is also a very valid question as to government response. Being one who went to the NOLA area after Katrina to help the recovery via Habitat for Humanity, I saw what the locals are not doing. You ever get off your ass to help others or just to get more alcoholic beverages for the son? Did Harry ever get off his fat ass and help? I was building in Slidell, and most restaurants were only open a couple hours a day, as there was a lack of workers. $10.50 / hr to work at McD's with a signing bonus after 3 months. But go into NOLA itself and the people there were waiting for the government checks, and rebuild homes better than before. Both places have blacks. We worked with blacks in Slidell. They had little use for the NOLA people also. Get you head out of your ass and think. Maybe you should let your son drink all your beer and you will be better off. |

You say, "I would both turn down an invite from you..." Are there really two of you? Or should I ask, ONLY two of you? I say, old boy. It's time you were tested for a multiple-personality disorder. Really, DID, DSM, MPD, or which letters are of your choosing, can be treated successfully with proper medication and/or shock therapy, that is unless you suffer from JPS Syndrome, then maybe your local psychiatrist might need to test you for acute schizophrenia. But relax. Even if you should decide to opt out of treatment, in four years all should be back to normal. Cheers. |

Bull****. I've been in the construction industry all of my life. I'm not sure if I ever heard anyone use the word "craft". They MAY once in a great while, use the word "craftsman" when describing someone who's done an excellent job. This lie rates rate up there with the whopper you told about an outfit site building a spiral staircase, including bending the rails! Nothing short of a lie. Anything that can be fabricated in shop is done so to save money. We even try to design things to do most of the welding in shop. |

Mr. Netweaver understands what "craft" is, he just doesn't like my politics and wanted to affix a "light on the feet" attribution to me. Crafts are what's disappearing in America and it's a sad state of affairs. Even when I turned wrenches as a kid, there were those who truly understood a mechanism and those who replaced parts. The ratio is going the wrong direction. I'm truly in bliss when fashioning something out of scrap materials to solve a problem. |

Several of the high-skill construction unions sponsor annual craft awards programs each year at the local and international level, and one such union actually changed its name some years ago to incorporate the term "craftworkers" I've been to a couple of "craftworker" expositions and fairs, either held as separate events or incorporated into other expositions. Recognition of the "craft" is important to workers with finely honed skillsets. Looking for a right-wing racist? Here's one: -- "John H" wrote in message ... Please note that Interstate 90 will be closed this weekend across South Dakota. This closure will allow the Federal Government free access to haul a 200 ton piece of coal to Mt. Rushmore so that President Obama can be added to the Presidents on the monument. -- John H -- John Herring, rec.boat's resident racist. |
