2/14/2001 Let us not forget

So if I didn't lose you with my last odd post I never will. I eluded to this in my last post but it looks like I might be traveling overseas this winter. I have nothing to add it is just distracting me so I keep forgetting to get the blog up there.. But hey on the bright side there should be some solid stories about the big heavy traveling overseas.


This is pretty inside but most of you will get it..

I know some of you out there are former IT peons like myself and I think it is time I did a little venting on that subject. It is not a good time to be in a IT in fact it has not been a good time since that dreaded day in 2/14/2001. I know we can never had dreamed that something could befall our IT nation but it did. How could M5 have done it.. How could he rewrite history how can he attempt to turn back the clock.
It all started so innocently we where just friends, we are just tourists, what harm could come to lhe IT world of one man scorned by another jump to the one who scorned him. What harm could come from a flying metal tube holding 500,000 gallons of fuel cause. Who knew that if this relationship took off our IT world would crumble under its own weight. Who knew you could steer a flying quickie mart into the pillar of our nation would change everything we do today. Well the past is the past but let us not cast judgment.

No Lets pass judgment. It is not M5's fault that we are all pondering learning Hindu.. It is not his fault that we are being tested for competence.. It is not his fault that companies like Best Buy and Travelers have eliminated there entire IT staff.. Oh I am not bitter that the future is so bleak that we count on having jobs like we are counting on getting social security when we retire and sure I will lose weight when I have more time.. (Sorry can't stop thinking about the weight since I am imprinting the docker logo in my ass with amount of volume of ass I am fitting in them. Relax heavy your pants are..) Ok I am going to need to vent on this more later but the rest of my cube mates are getting out there prayer mats (I hope the star on my Christmas tree in my cube isn't offending anyone) and I would hate the sound of my clacking disrupt them..

Twins Gotta love them for keeping me occupied between Viking games..

This is me I am heavy
I ask you not to hate the playa unless he drives an M5

It's all about the Christian faith disappearing from our great nation...

agree or disagree...

Until the 60's, our faith flourished, and despite things like slavery, women's sufferage, civil rights attrocities, etc., a certain civility and decorum existed that made all of us uniquely American...

Faith and Freedom won the great American Revolution, the Great Civil War, and two World Wars...we were the greatest nation to ever exist!

Because of the glue that held our nation together, our nation's Christian underpinnings, we were the finest nation on earth...we were the beacon that drew others to our shores. We beat the British twice, the slavers, the Mexicans, we bailed the Frogs out twice, and sent Hitler and Mussolini back to hell where they came from.

Then in the 60's fortune blinked, and multi-culturalism was born...its seemingly benign larval stage giving us the free love generation, hippees, drugs, draft dodging, the ALCU, revived paganism, etc...

...stone by stone tearing down the very walls that secured fortress America for 200 plus years, while all the while posing as something much less malignant...

Slowly, methodically, things have decayed to a point where everything is now culturally relevant and allowed and protected...illegal immigration goes unchecked, we pull the 10 Commandments out of our public places, Christmas takes a back seat to Winter Holiday and sends common sense on a permanent vacation, music goes from "Isn't She Lovely" and "Don't Stop Believing" to Marilyn Manson, Black Sabbath, Death Metal and cop killer Gangsta' Rap...Republican and Democrat Administrations alike with their false messages of faith, hope, and prosperity sell us out to the Asians; from Jakarta to Delhi, and Buenos Aires to Brownsville...our country now moves to the tune of the globalist agenda, and the elite fat-cat corporatists who run it.

...need some one to program Java or answer your phones for you...300 million Indians and Chinese Masters degrees are waiting, practically killing each other out there to do it for less than 10k a year. And they do it because we let them have our markets with no expectation that they'll ever develop their own infrastructure to support their own people 20, 30, 40 years down the road.

...quick money for the globalization/WTO wacky American companies that feel no pressure to keep it "American"; and in fact are encouraged to feed the Leviathan pirates that are Rajiv and Ming, and Ali, to spite the Americans that float them with our tax dollars...and keep in mind Rajiv, Ming, and Ali absolutely hate us...hate us for our freedom, hate us for our faith, hate us for our power...they cheered when the towers fell, and continue to cheer when Americans die in droves to fight for the freedom they wouldn't dream of dying for themselves.

...and the administration actually has the balls to tell us globalization is good for us...trillion dollar trading deficits, and a hundred zillion "Made in China" Cupie dolls later...the ultimate Maskirovka...gone is the day of global partnership based on ideological similarities...faith means squat and profit means alot...

So when I see 22 year old IT folks making 50k more per year than me to start, doing a job a slightly above average tenth grader could do while rubbin' one out over the playmate of the month, and I start getting that green apple bellyache way down deep in my gut...I clear my head, remember the faith that got me where I am, and I read articles like yours and feel assured that at some point your IT job is my poverty lawyer job security...sorry...Darwin calls...and payback without a little intelligent design is a b'ozzzz...see ya' round the court, yo... ;)
