Have a wonderful holiday, and I hope you find work if you aren't spoiled by unemployment compensation, like the GOP says you are...
Have a great day!
:patriot: :woohoo:

I have not had one of their jobs in awhile.
However I worked 50 60 hour work weeks, hard work, smart work, compassionate fair work. I followed the rules, did more good then bad.
And they took my social and financial situation by the 'watch your neighbor' program and ideas of vigilante justice.
So if they don't like who I am, they should have set it right years ago, now it will cost them far more, since they also have to cover legal fees :) or better said, years of time spent not doing what I should have been doing.
So when they retired me by smear, they did it to themselves.
So
They will pay.
And happy labor day :)

4. I'm not a socialist, but I don't believe in unregulated capitalism either. |

But thanks, and happy labor day to you, too. Guy on the radio this morning said the government passed a law granting a federal holiday for labor in 1897 after the Pullman strikes; his point was that the government was scared of organized labor. There's a lesson there, he went on to say; I have to agree.
I've been thinking that the key to everything is that government is not afraid of the people. (There's another part of the key, of course: the people are afraid of their own shadows.) Government is afraid of the special interests. We (the people) have to be more frightening to our representatives in government. We must find a way to make them take us seriously.
