Please forgive. I recognize that many many government workers are exceptional. Somehow, I only seemed to remember to complete losers and made some smart aleck postings.

Thank you for your and millions of other's service. I DO appreciate it.

Apology accepted. You are a heck of a man to admit a mistake as most of us who post here would never even consider we might be even a little wrong. Heck, I am often an ass and rarely apologize. Good for you.

I was not hurt, but many folks who know nothing of the hard work and sacrifice that many federal employees make (yes some are dirt bags) are influenced by the constant scapegoating by elected officials and the media...so I just wanted to make my point. It really was funny, but since there was no category for govt employeees (and there are many who post here) who worked 40 hours or more , it made any statistics automatically make them look bad. Lot of folks read the PP threads and some form opinons based on what they read here.

Many tend to lump all feds wth the guys that are prosecuted (because they break the rules that millions of others uphold) and the DMV (not feds) who kept us waiting to get new plates.

Thank you for the kind words and happy Thanksgiving.
