I do it every quarter now. Budget cuts have eliminated the old departmental team building activities. I see. You bring the relish packs "..borroewed.." from Arby's to put on your free hotdog, huh...!?! I'll bet you use products I worked on, and substantially designed, every day (hint, do you pump your own gas?). I also worked on some of the impressive weapons that are on the way to the Middle East. Did you design the graphics and decals on the gas pump's card reader..?? A system that in essence has helped to reduce jobs in the service station sector...??? Huge contribution. Having worked on the MX Missile System, which broke the financial back of the Commie block, I'm amazed you have the gall to bitch about the Republican administrations that have funded your work - while Clintwit and his boobs sought to put the defense business in the crapper. I take my positions on subjects because the are fairer and more stable for the country, not because I heard it on the radio. Ha ha ha ha...... The conclusion at the end of your puffery makes sense. The left-wing BS fruitloops can't keep their programs on the "...radio..." for more than a few weeks. Everyone turns them off, and then their Ted Turner start-up and Ad money runs out.

Another self made oligarch........ Within the context of real life heres another aside, I have a fourth grader in Catholic school, we are a split Jewish Catholic family, but thats another story. The most incredible fact of this experience is that every month since the 2nd grade, one family or two throw a dinner party for the parents of all the kids in the two classes. We have near 100% participation and those who miss a monthly event are truly sorry for it. In this environment we thrive, because we all appreciate each other. This is not a homogenized group either, our incomes, jobs, experiences are so far ranging as to be unbelievable at times. Yet we come together voluntarily and reinforce our identity as free people who care about each other, without compulsion or guidance by anyone. Respect is something given, not taken. To a person, we would say, we dont need no stinking oligarchs or social engineers, despite your appropriations of merit, we can do better, when people like you, just get out of the way. Values freely chosen, endure.
