1. Of course I'd scream. I want my own way- doesn't everyone? I think my way is best. If I didn't, it wouldn't be my way. My way it is the best way the best way is my way and if it weren't the best way it wouldn't be my way (please sing to "My Hat It Has Three Corners") I assume anyone can sing this song 2. I like artists. I find much pleasure in art. I think it's a real job. We'll have to disagree on that. I have no idea why you dragged in the concept of superiority. I do not find artists superior to bankers or engineers- I think it's good to have them all. You must have inferred that I thought they were inferior because you have seen it elsewhere. You have not seen if from me. 3. I have no idea what you are talking about with regard to bankers. Seems to me everyone sucks at the public teat. The government has fingers in all businesses, benefitting them in many ways- that's why businesses have lobbyists, to massage the big teat. We all tend to complain about the teat massaging that messes with our philosophy, and we ignore the teat sucking that doesn't. If only conservatives gravitated toward being IRS agents, I'm not sure I'd care. Do you think they'd be unable to be fair, just because they are conservative? I would assume most IRS agents are conservative- I'd assume it attracts the same sort of people that accountancy attracts. I'm not sure it attracts liberals. Do you think it likely to attract liberals? I don't really care, one way or the other, but it seems unlikely to attract them, to me. Same with the FBI- I can't imagine lots of liberals line up to work there. In fact, I'd suspect very few liberals would consider working at the FBI (or CIA). Liberals generally don't like those organizations. Right? Bully as in the way Teddy said it. You knew that.
