You went back almost four years to find two posts of mine... one admonishing Skipper & Bert about the New World Order and the second...a reference to an AHL hockey team. What the $%$# has that got to do with pustules? Dude, the Internet has a long memory. Sure does...but someone had better teach FlatulentJim how to access it. |

Frankly, whateveryournameis, my disgust with the system has been building since Reagan started this greedy bull****. I'm plenty fed up and in no mood to be civil. If I heard a modicum of bitching from the right while Bush and Cheney were in office and sending this country down a ******** between tax cuts and war, I'd be a little more flexible. All the greedy assholes thought those tax dollars belonged to the folks that put 'em in. Turns out they were loans from China. Now the right wing shows up and starts bitching about spending when it's about spending on health care and our economy. Didn't hear a bloody peep when it was bullets, bombs and tax cuts. So, your side hasn't much credibility (or any at all) and no standing to talk to me about civility nor patriotism. If I offer you civility, consider it a gift. The only thing you have to offer, or care to offer, is the death of reason. You are far too removed from it to esteem its worth. I think jps has a point though. I think he's wrong to not attempt civility, but it's a tough road. Civility is only tough for those that extol its virtue but deny its exercise, Em. Personal civility is as easily attainable as is personal charity. A victim, though, will cheat himselves of both virtues if he languishs in that miserable role, if I may apply some unction to it (smarmy critter that I am). himselves = himself (I've been reading too much Tolkien :) I haven't done that in a long time. :) If only I had more time to read! It seems I have to spend most of my time earning a living... I know the feeling. I'm fortunate in that I own my own business, I work nearly 100% at home, and I don't have any set hours. Of course, the latter isn't too good if it means being up at 1am to get things ready for the next morning at 8 am. I like to get up early, weather permitting, and go for a run, so 1am gets old fast. Sometimes I sit in front of the computer (like now), waiting for something that will need a very quick response. I've done "nothing" for hours sometimes. Then, it comes in a tidal wave. The crunch days are (right now) usually Thurs through Monday (not much happens on Sat., but I have to prepare for Sunday), with stuff just trickling in the other days. As the holiday season approaches though, it'll expand to most of the week, but that's only through mid-Jan. That's interesting, Em. Is your business service-oriented? I have entertained the notion of pursuing some type of work-at-home option before; but, I don't trust myself. I'm not sure I'd have the discipline to attend to the demands that any such vocation would require. I suspect that I would wander off into all the small avocations that I'm always tempted to indulge, as it is (like posting in this NG, or reading some forlorn book). I've previously owned a manufacturing concern, and I'm personally intimate with the demands of a small business. Generally, it requires hard work, dedication, and interminably long hours. I have to admire you for being able to discipline yourself to work at home. I actually have two careers, one I'm winding down and one has been ramping up for a several years. My primary business right now is retail, domestic and international (80/20) sales of used mid- to high-end designer clothes (mostly for women and teens, but I don't descriminate against Martians). The one I'm winding down is actually in a large part because of the demands of customers 24/7 (it seems sometimes), who don't have a clue, and having to deal with the US PTO nitpicky requirements. I used to enjoy the latter, but I'm burned out. It's a strange and I think unlikely career change for me... think aggressive coffee drinker to laid-back shopper. Patent, Trademark office? Yup... shocking isn't it. -- Nom=de=Plume |
