Anything you say is irrelevant.

[blindpig]

You can plead, cajole, bullyrag, insult, cry, bluster, moan, groan, snark, snide, hassle, harass, belittle, curse, swear, or make a general fool of yourself. It don't mean squat.

The only thing that matters is what's going on in the 'real' world, what is done or not done, promises kept or not, things implied but not addressed, things said which do not require an interpreter. People got their eyes open, they are keeping score, you cannot change that.

This is a non-partisan, equal opportunity message.

But you know who you are.

The reality is, that in the "real" world, it's merely a matter of what you can get away with. Bush surely proved that.

4. You may be right

And if so, for some odd reason, the powers that be are going way out of their way to indulge in a little hippie punching, which just doesn't make any goddam sense.

Or does it? Hmmmm.

5. I want to agree with you

and I rec'ed you.
But its only partially true.
Our words matter.
They go into the mix with our actions.

Two different managers can fire you (the action), but the way they communicate it to you greatly affects you.

Words matter.

I already knew that. Which makes me wonder why the hell I care. Thanks. You have reminded me why I should aspire to apathy.

It's futile, why bother voting?
