Lee, Don't worry too much about the tree cutters, as the wave of the future is tree farms! Grow em' and cut em' just like corn! <g>
While I sincerely appreciate the work you did in the military, and think it was very valuable and even life saving work, don't you think you are being a bit too hard and cold on the workers? Many of the things you mentioned can also be life saving, like correctly wiring up a house, or putting the lug nuts correctly on a wheel, etc, etc.
As for the workers lining up for "sick leave", sure, some of them are scum, and will take advantage of every opportunity to use and abuse, but don't we have that problem in all fields and almost every profession? "Scumbag" doctors, lawyers, cops, you name it, they are all out there.
I have been on both sides of the argument, worker and "the brains", and what we truly need in this country is a better balance between the opposing forces, not an attitude where one laughs when more jobs move overseas or south of the border. This will only result in more trouble for BOTH sides in the future, so why giggle? Yogi |
