Lindy, I know you're one tough SOB but even you have probably worked a few jobs where you were treated like dirt and had NO recourse. I started working construction at 13 and I was working for my old man so I didn't get ANY breaks. I was old enough to work so I worked. It wasn't exactly my choice. But even my old man didn't say, "You work from 7 AM to 10AM and then 12PM to 4PM and then come back and work 6PM to 9PM". Even HE wouldn't have treated me like that and HE made YOU look like like a candyass.....

<<Any time the Government interferes in business they distort the process.>> Many countries like Denmark have shown government (society working together) can make life much better for everyone. Denmark has a large middle class, free education and universal health care. The people there are said to be the happiest on earth, and have good educations and health care. You have the same attitude about people the feudal lords did. They are to be exploited as peasants and serfs or as Marie said: "let them eat cake. You lack not only compassion, but even the most modicum of mercy and common sense. We know social science and social programs like social security and medicare can make peoples lives better just as democracy did. You do not have a clue as to how any of that works. You live in a dark world of ignorance, and lack of imagination and empathy. People like you never get anything good accomplished. All you know how to do is be mean!
