I get a lunch break, but you guys get to post here all day.
Rich? Retired? Not me.

I work from home, my wife is my boss, and after 20 years, we still get
along, couldn't be better. Admittedly much of our business is now
automated, but we spent many a year and hour getting here



I teach at a university in the middle of the state.

What do you teach?

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional liberal
arts.

Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!

As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)

And still a political troll post, no matter how you look at it...

In what way?

Scott, you need to relax and dial down your sensitivity level. Sit
back, read what you like, ignore the rest.

Hey Wayne, I am still holding my powder even though Harry, Bonnie, JPS
and our new friend still think this is the place for political
trolling...

So Paul made a thinly veiled reference to the "Tea Party" in an off
the cuff remark. No big deal, not everyone has to love the so called
tea party movement. I'm sure the comment wasn't directed at you, and
I don't consider it a troll either. That's what I mean by dialing
down your sensitivity level.

What "political trolling" have I posted?

Well, this is...

snip
Sure, I'm progressive. I believe in progress, in moving forward, in
extending rights, in scientific development, in opening doors, in making
sure the "play" is fair. I don't believe in scapegoating, in blaming one
ethnic group or another for our society's failures, or in trying to get
ahead by scaring large blocks of nervous people.
/snip

You are suggesting that "the other side" does not want "scientific
development" (which is code for you want no compromise on stem cell
research whatsoever) and you got the LaRaza line down for the rest of
the paragraph, suggesting that the other side is not for "fair play"
which of course is code for "no id's required, free lunch time", and the
whole "scaring large blocks of people" is directed at republicans, even
though the whole "we are gonna' have 8% unemployment if we don't pay off
the unions right now", and "the big bad republicans are sneaking outside
money (like the millions the dems got from Soros and the Chinese
Military in the last few elections) in to "steal" the election when the
dems still have the same money coming in, plus millions from
undocumented donations through the Labor Unions....

So, as clever as you think you are, a troll is still a troll.
Unfortunately your side seems to think as long as it's clever and
subtitle it's ok to break the rules here and elsewhere... it's
pathetic...

As far as I am concerned, I will still hold my powder, but as soon as
Harry starts up again, and he will, we will be right back where we were
two weeks ago, with one new member of the intolerant progressive block
we have to deal with here on a daily basis. But us "knuckle draggers"
actually believe in free speech, so feel free to campaign for whatever
issues you wish... But we are not a pushover, you may be called to the
table here and there for your behavior..


If you are holding your powder, then why are you posting these personal
and political attacks?

You seem very, very angry. I'm sorry for you.

Paul, your personal snipes and name-calling don't lend you much credence. You
can make your point without either.

Why not tone down the rhetoric?

Wow, you sure seemed to change your tone very quickly. Paul, I think
you need to learn how to refrain from derogatory statements.

I've made no such suggestion. I've merely stated that I am a progressive
and have certain beliefs and values based upon my position as a
progressive. As a student of history, I am an admirer of thinkers on
both sides of our two party political spectrum, including Dwight
Eisenhower, Nelson Rockefeller and even Richard Nixon, two of whom were
both conservative and progressive.

You seem to be caught up in the rhetoric of those nattering nabobs of
negativism, the tea party and fox news. Not me.

Such a shame. For a day or so, I'd thought you were real.
