"He "volunteered" me to work the DNC when they were in Los Angeles" to meant you were somehow paid to volunteer for the DNC or to work for them? If so, I'm a dunce. I work for Democrats without pay. How silly of me.

You see, I used to work for a nonprofit. In fact, I researched rich people for placement on our board. I became disillusioned when I caught myself reviewing the list of my personal friends to see who might have enough money to donate.

Boards of non-profits consist of self-satisfied egomaniacs who get a power high from the "satisfaction" of showing poor people how they could live their lives in a better way. In terms of helping the homeless, a wealthy person feels very "satisfied" providing "a hot and a cot" to a poor person. In the 80s, when I was in that field, very rich people made themselves feel good by donating relatively small sums of money to "good causes" while totally undermining the working person's economy by starting the process of outsourcing low-skilled jobs.

This whole thing about people not being well enough educated is just a way to make ordinary people feel guilty about not being able to compete for the few jobs left after the appropriate jobs have been outsourced and performed for slave wages in China and India and other dismal places on the earth.

Rich people who think they can buy anything -- and more and more, very sadly, they can.
