Great point!!!!

Ought to teach it form 1st grade to graduate school, and force you to use this simple concept as your thesis.

But like any thesis, it is meaningless for most until they have a practical knowledge of the effects. Took me 50 yrs to make the connection.

I could pass the blame to a lot of things, but I just wasn't paying attention to myself. Perhaps age is the only cure for this universal and particular affliction.

If you want to know more about that, you could PM me, but I just wanted to let you know that your ability to post such artwork in your tool box MIGHT be protected by the law if: 1) The company allows other material to be stuck on tool boxes, and 2) if it was clear that the purpose of your sticker was mutual aid and benefit for workers.

I love to stick it to the man, but I wouldn't advise someone to do so without knowing enough about the circumstances to be confident that the stick didn't turn the other way.

I just do these things to antagonize certain individuals. And I am very aware of these rules. As you may recall, I have mentioned my involvement with unions and union organizing in the past?

Yes, the company does allow us to display various stickers, including religious and political stickers on our toolboxes, in addition to dogs, family pictures, etc. They even allow people to post sales adverts, social and church gathering leaflets on the breakroom bulletin board. I haven't asked, of course, but I don't think they realize this leaves them "open". It is a non-union shop.

That's right, you did mention your organizing efforts, but I've slept since then.

The strategy was to pacify the far right who wanted Romney or Huckabee and thought McCain wasn't sufficiently wingnutty.

I agree.

I finally figure out that hatred, and losing your temper, only hurts yourself.

Life's too short to spend your time making yourself miserable. It's your choice, once you can recognize that you have the ultimate control.

Hmm? Since the elephant is the GOP symbol does "Going Rogue" mean she is now about to terrorize villages? Inquiring minds want to know.

It was great!!! Never even saw a stinking deer.

The only tragedy was when my buddies stupid little dog ran across my fishing pole and hooked itself in the nose. It was fortunate that the barb of the hook was still exposed, it made extraction pretty painless. This mutt has a history of eating the bait, knocking over tackle boxes, spilling the beer, and snapping at baited hooks. And it didn't allow taking a hook in it's nose to change it's behavior in the least.

Dumbest animal I've ever seen.

The chuck eyes were perfect, and I even won a couple of bucks in the poker game. All in all, a perfect beer season.
