[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 905241, member: 12508"] Actually, I make most of my income from investing and real estate, so the only reason I stay at FedEx is for the medical, which isn't great, but is better than paying independently. I'm in my mid 40's, so shifting over to UPS would be difficult at best. I don't want to spend 5 years or so as a pre-loader. It's funny you mention the 1800's, because that's where I think the Right wants to go. Back to an era where white was always right, there were no environmental concerns, and you could do whatever you wanted to whenever you felt like it. We can't go back in time, unless you're on the Right and believe that it is possible. That's romantic idiocy, and completely backward. If the fact that I fervently disagree with you and the Right makes me an "uber", then I'm proud to be one. The Right is the side that discounts science, evolution, and global warming, yet believes in a one size fits all religion (Christianity) that will make everything OK. Righties also seem blissfully unaware that there is actually a world beyond our borders where other cultures view things differently. In other words, the USA can't steamroller their way of life across the rest of the planet like they used to, and that pisses you off. "Buck" is just another way that you on the Right try and twist the knife around with terms that a lot of people would be offended by and would normally choose not to use. It's a game constantly played by the folks at FOX and countless Libertarian and GOP radio hosts around the country. Race-baiting, attacking public employees, and painting anything progressive as socialist when you don't even know what socialism is. The one thing I'll agree with you is that the truth is neither on the Far Left or Right. I discount Olbermann and Schultz just as much as I do Hannity and Limbaugh. At least the Lefties pander to a more intelligent crowd of "ubers' than the dummy Tea Party types, who let others do their thinking for them. [/QUOTE]
