You chose the wrong profession if you want to steal big time. Everyone knows
that ALL lawyers are thieves and they do it better than anyone else. I give
you John Edwards as an example of the breed. You are just a little thief
compared to him.

I was talking to a store clerk out at the local Wal-Mart. He is being paid
something like $8. an hour - and it is fairly hard work too. Anyone making
45K/year is making out like a bandit. Only the very poor like Ed Dolan the
Great have a right to claim any virtue. I have always been as poor a church
mouse because I have not been a thief like everyone else. In fact some years
ago I morphed into Saint Edward the Great I became so self-righteous. Mr.
Sherman is not worthy to even be in the same universe as Saint Edward the
Great.

Nope, not so. Professions are formed for the purpose of robbing the public.
Jeez, I though everyone knew at least that much! What doctors make is the
greatest highway robbery of all. Hey, just get to be called a doctor and you
are free to commit totally mayhem on society. But engineers are not far
behind. They learned how to do numbers as kids and go into engineering and
become "professionals", after which they spend their lives bamboozling the
public out of their pocket change. Yes indeed, numbers are a good thing to
know about!

Mr. Dolan is way too smart to labor in the vineyard like all the rest of you
jackasses. Mr. Sherman is not even married and has no children to support,
yet he fancies that he has a hard life because he is not a millionaire. He
is your typical resentful, envious liberal-socialist-communist. If only he
wasn't such a hypocrite about it, he could be forgiven his trespasses. After
all, not everyone is to the manor born.

I urge Mr. Sherman to give up his sinful, moneyed ways and to become saintly
like Saint Edward the Great. Of course, this means he would have to become
as poor as a church mouse and no longer lust after the things of this world.

But the ways of Ed Dolan the Great are not for those who know not slacking
and who labor at a job never knowing the succor of rental properties nor
what it means to have productive forebears. Poor Mr. Sherman only inherited
a capacity for hard work by the sweat of his brow. He came into the world
bootless but, by God, he is determined not to leave the world bootless. That
is why be became an engineer with a license to steal from the public.

Another good sensible post by Tom Sherman who not only knows a lot about
recumbents but apparently knows a lot about computers and the Internet too.

The Great Ed Dolan only got into computers a few years ago and has been
plagued from the beginning by viruses, spyware and all sorts of malware. My
computer freezes on me if I even look at it and when it does work it is as
slow as molasses. It is a full time job just running utilities to get rid of
all the crap. The frustration of it all is slowing driving me crazy.

It strike me as strange that the very first thing that the geniuses behind
all of this new technology did not do was to get the security right. What
good is all of this if it is nothing but a playground for scalawags.

There is a dumpster out in the alley behind my house. One of these days I am
going to take all this computer crap and dump it there for the trash pick-up
and maybe get my sanity back.

A thread with the subject heading of "Drivel" is made for me. I can do this
better than anyone else, having spent a lifetime of driveling.
