"Third, you may not be aware of all the circumstances surrounding the performance, or lack of, by another employee." Good point. But there are two other, complimentary, points: One: Courts have held that, in spite of written rules, a pattern of behavior trumps the written rule. To punish someone for an infraction that is universally ignored will not be sustained. Two: We still don't know the circumstances. It could be Bush simply shirked his duty and nobody bothered to sanction him. Or it could be he tried to participate but the chain of command simply said "Go away. Quit bothering us. We'll call you if we need you." |

Seems they had to "open the peoples purses" (Morris) to pay off the bankers who had financed the war.

IIRC you/I had to replace the WP gasket to properly tension the timing belt also. And then all that went with adding coolant purging the air out of the cooling system draining and refilling the oil that is contaminated with coolant as a result of the blown head gasket. Valve cover gasket, restabbing the dist and wires, belts, timing belt cover.... 30 minutes.... ?? |

Given the current mess in Washington, how long are we going to put up with either party? I've about had it. Amen. I'm still waiting for the supposed Great Cull to start. Surely, a second American Revolution is brewing, but the inertia is amazingly strong. Some day soon, once Americans realize the scam Obama and the others have pulled on them (how can waivers even be -considered- when he's mandating health insurance on everyone?), all hell's going to break loose. I just hope it starts with someone other than Obama, so there isn't a global race war coming out of it, too. OTOH, I recently read an article on Tom Paine. Seems that after the war Washington and Morris (the equivalent of treasury secretary) hired Paine to write articles praising federal taxes. Seems they had to "open the peoples purses" (Morris) to pay off the bankers who had financed the war. :/ Did you research its validity? So before we got past our first president, we had fought a war with borrowed money and taxed the poor to pay off the rich - sound familiar?

It happens to us all, but that's because we let it happen. We all know the net is full of idiotic stuff and the things we choose to reference is exactly that - our choice. Not arguing with either Larry or you as it relates to Carter, but the choice of references is a lot more arguable. -- -Mike- |

Actually, I blame you for "wanting ammo" (your words). This isn't a war, a fight or a hunting expedition, after all. You should, instead, have argued the case yourself, rationally and with respect. scott |
