  2. I think I do. I think the unions accidentally helped sell thmselves as bad [theory]The information age got more. .uhh. . .informative at the same time that the labor unions were negotiating their price. They wanted too much for an idea that was on it's death throes; good wages for labor anyone can do. Knowledge dictated income as the country became less material industry and more a knowledge industry. computers were one of the biggest factors as they were able to replace workers and control robots that replaced even more people. The rest of the world followed and we had no choice but to keep up. Labor became really cheap and the unions were not able to see that in time. No one did. I believe this change that is still going on happened naturally and is still rolling. The only way to prevent this from going even further is to completely shut down the borders and live in a vacuum. that aint going to happen. Now we have out sourcing. the 2000's version of the 80's union demise; except it's happening to another sector of employment.[/theory] I think the unions were called "bad" because people wanted the U.S. to quickly move on with its life and not get left behind. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  8. I've started to download some Supertramp recently. Don't understand the interest. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  9. (this is what i get for opening my mouth) Personally, Im not a good arguer and I hope this doesn't get sent to SC I just wanted to know about the bill that's being talked about. I love dolphins. When underway, my job puts me an a place most people won't experience. I spend hours sometimes days listening to mirgrating (and often hanging out) dolphins. this argument cannot be won online. I don't want to try. So, just the facts. "Our" is the U.S. Navy. We've been studying whale behavior and high power sonar for decades. the particular sonar system I have used(all surface combantants have this) is actually louder than the LFA. It doesn't bother the dolphins. Sometimes they come over to us when we are active and giveus their version of their interrogative. other times they just continue on with their chatter like if nothing happens. Again 200+ decibles is easy to create in nature underwater. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  10. Nah, that stuff isn't dangerous to marine life. Whales, dolphins and seals, ect expeienced a lot more powerful stuff than that several times their lives. like underwater seismic activities, lightning strikes (not the shock, teh actual noise it create) other whales ect. ect. Just another group of enviromentalists who won't read our studies. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  11. What do they want to do with the bill? I cant find anthing in the petition that tells how they want it fixed. Do they want the bill dropped or do they want the paticular portion of the bill being brought up to change? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  12. What is this loophole? is it some law passed for something else that allows it? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  13. Man, this brings back memories. While I was stationed in Norfolk, one of my favorite morning shows was Tommy and Rumble. Every year they would have the "Annual Peta Bass Fishing competition". If the title didn't piss off Peta, definitely the fishing right next to their building did.(Peta is on the Waterfront). There always was people willing to compete. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  14. I just ordered a mirage G-4. the only thing I can see as far as pros and cons are looks. but as far as wait time, I put an order on the 25th of oct and they quoted me about 14 of december. about two weeks less than their 8 week quotes. It might be because of the Holidays though. Their customer service is excellent and they always call you back. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    Bengal Cats

    Pardon my ignorance but when you say "Bengal" do you mean like a type of tiger or is it some sort of housecat breed? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  18. Kind of funny. The thing that sold me on the particular trim for my truck (King ranch) was the combo-push button keyless entry thingy(big time learning disability when it comes to what side of the closed door the keys belong on). I can't be locked out anymore. I have yet to actually use the key to open the door. Matter of fact, I don't know if the keyhole actually works. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  19. Amway was one of the most successful. don't forget to borrow rich friends' boats and cars and display them. and never actually say they will get it. Let the dreaming mind assume. charge for seminars for the "sales associate" that uses words like "empowerment" and always use the walmart success story to prove points. Hint, but dont tell, that these seminars are required. That's where the money really is. Always keep your red herring skills up, there is always some one out there who will mess it up with questions like "market saturation?" and always. . .You "own your own business" not you are self employed.

  20. Now that I think about it. . . San Diego PD swat team has other important stuff to do than busting down my door for sugar gliders. Hmmmm. . . . _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  21. One thing. These animals are considered "exotic" and are illegal in california and massachuttetes and require permits to own in some states(nebraska, CT, KS). Don't know where you live. Cute animals though. I live in CA so was upset I wasn't able to own some. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  22. Same here, I run from base to downtown San diego waterfront and back. I never get tired of the run, especially during the summer times when the hot ladies are out. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  23. A girlfriend of the past had a boar hound. Our first time, he was outside her bedroom door whimpering and huffing. I felt it safe to have her escort me from her room to the front door. Ever since then, that dog had a distrust for me. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  24. Yeah, I got the sides of my new container white like yours. the Mirage folks said to scotch guard it in two very light coats, not one thick spray. I realised what I was getting into buying the white, but with the half-off military deal, why not splurge? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
