kirk, Yep, I did leave but that was not my only option. It was also my choice and my wifes choice. My decisions have largely got me here through hard work (I worked two jobs for many years). I believe that anyone anywhere in the US can be successful if they believe in themselves and work hard for themselves. Hey, if I can do it, anyone can.
As to the evils of corporate greed. I often hear workers complain about how shabbily thay are treated but they don't seem to want the bosses job. Nor do they want to quit and start their own company. As to the Dickens novel, try spending a week in a third world country and you will appreciate that most of these arguments in the US are just averice showing its ugly head. Most of our "wage slaves" and our poor have hot & cold running water, electricity, color televisions, microwave ovens, cars, and other luxuries. In Mumbai (Bombay) alone, I was told that there are 2 million people who will never have a roof over their heads, nor can they hope to. I saw them sleeping on the street and sidewalks. I saw working class housing that in the US would be considered a slum. We simly do not have any idea how good we've got it. Maybe we should talk about the evils of socialism and how it makes everyone poor? As to the top dog making big bucks, well until I'm ready to step into his job and take on the headaches, he can have it and I feel no jealousy over his takings. I do however get riled if the takings are not above board and obtained through lying, cheating, and stealing as we seem to be seeing in a very small number of companies. We do not see that across the board as the media would have us believe. I'm just saying that we all have options in the US. We can start our own companies and you will find that many small companies treat people well. You can do it and treat your staff as you see fit. The last company I worked for the President did not make any more than and possibly less than the top paid technical staff (things were tight). I am always finding ppl who complain about the top dog but are not willing to do the work the boss did to get there. I know what it takes, I'm not willing and he/she can have the big bucks. Its not worth it to me, my needs are simple. td <SNIP> Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
