I ended up leaving when I was flat out told that the gubmit agency I worked for was under a mandate to promote more women and "people of color".

And what's with this "People of Color" crap. Everyone knows it a code phrase that means everyone except Cracker! And Honkey isn't a color? Also, that's just bad grammar, it's a dangling modifier. You wouldn't say "People of Blind" or People of Fat" would you? You'd say Fat People or Blind People.


I'm not going to be getting one of those stupid tax "rebates" even though I actually paid those taxes and many, many more times what those "rebates" will be. I never took unemployment, welfare, aid to families with dependent children, food stamps, Home Heating Oil Tax Credits, Earned income tax credit (snort, NOT, its a subsidy). I DID and DO pay Alternative Minimum Tax, every God Damn year!

If anything makes me angry (actually, I'm not, just a little fed up with the crap), it's the attitude of some people that because they aren't doing as well as they'd like, it must be someone else's (read, my) fault.

My feelings EXACTLY.....+1000
