I've been bothered by Congress calling us nerds instead of experts for a while. When I call my Congressman to lobby on an issue I care about related to my expertise I identify myself as a professional system and network administrator, not a nerd or a geek. When Congress needs the Joint Chiefs of Staff or other military advice do they mock them by saying they need leathernecks or jarheads to explain something to them? No. They ask for the experts. It is the same across other disciplines, too.
I was happy to see John Stewart set the record straight. It sure would be nice to see the message proliferate. http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/19/10190893-jon-stewart-dramatic-chipmunk-call-out-congressional-nerd-bashing Gil -- Gilbert Wilson @boyonwheels _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
