what kind of car do you own, all the libs I know own foreign made cars. One day on a union job in Cleveland the union guys decided to burn all non american cars. There were 4 of them, totally destroyed. They all belong to young people two were african americans who couldn't get in the union if they wanted to. The union police and union fireman came, ask what happened and the union guys said lightening, it was a sunny day not a cloud in sight. All the union bros had a good chuckle over that. Just swell racist people

Jorj, you shouldn't want to compare war stories with most of the people I went to high school with but that's beside the point. It's not what we experienced ourselves that determines how much empathy and understanding of the plight of others that we have, it's what we took from that. Hell, I don't think we should be comparing war stories at all. But you seemed to want to talk about my background. And it sounds like you didn't personally have to suffer much. Your Dad was in a union, so he wasn't being abused by his employer. But I was working at 13 while going to school full time. Since it was important to you to call my background into the conversation, I'd say that after the comparison I've got the street cred here. You sound like you are coming from a feeling of guilt over your success. I don't have that particular affliction. I have worked hard for and earned everything I have. If, in the future you want to talk issues with me, let's leave it to the exchange of ideas rather than including assumptions about our POV.
