If you actually believe that you can eliminate unions and keep the gains they have made - that benefit us all - you are very naive and very uniformed when it comes to today's politics.

With the rise of inflation the value of their work decreases You are clearly making stuff up as you write. Oh, and one last thing concerning how you have never gotten anything from others - your entire education has been subsidized by the state.

    They watch way to much Television. And they think it makes em look uber bad@$$ but whatever floats their boat. Personally I would never dream of carrying a gun in my waistband, the woman should be ashamed of herself for allowing her obviously untrained boyfriend to carry it. Though in other news there is some good news for Fla gun owners http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/state/new-gun-laws-headed-to-florida-governor-rick-scott-[^]

    I got my first job because I networked with the top guys in the company. I found that when you impress the upper level IT management that you get a really nice edge in the interview process. Call it cheating if you want, but I got hired almost on the spot. The same rule still applies. The trick is talk to people get real person to person connections, that will open the door for you. Once you are in there you then have to be very confident. Remember you are there because you are an experienced developer, show them why you are the best. The most important thing to remember is like anything most of getting hired is in your mind and when you believe you can do it you have subtle differences about you that make the difference. Remember you make your own luck. And remember for every job you get you will have applied to atleast 20.

    I had a mate over in NI when some riots started up. He was in 42 Comando, patroling a street in the usual plank when they came across an off license with a smashed in door. No need to give a member of the British Army a double invitation! :) They loaded themselves up with Scotch and Vodka and had a good night back at the barracks. ============================== Nothing to say.
