Good Old Neon

You know El, for a self proclaimed hard worker such as yourself, well, you sure do spend a lot of time on the Internet. Ok

Really, there have been several strikes, 1994 comes to mind, yet, the world kept a turning. Just imagine what would happen in New York if trash collection came to a complete halt for 232 days.

Because, through exposure, we

The ability to down 60 hot dogs a minute is extremely rare, but I would never suggest a person who can do so is more valuable than a teacher such as yourself. Your brilliance is extremely evident, your students are extremely fortunate to have such a thoughtful teacher, that is of much greater value than the rare ability to consistently hit a ball thrown at 99 mph.

What Rodriquez can do, I think, is hit a ball and field a ball with more skill than most people

No I mean, one really performs an essential task, regardless of what I think

One performs an essential task, the other a completely frivolous one

Because I cannot think of a single situation in which I would ever, even if I lived to be a million years old, need to open the phone book, and proceed to look up a baseball player to perform a task, like say, a plumber.

No offense, and unfortunately, you are right, but when you really think about what you

Oh come on, are we still afraid of the big bad communists? What is commonly referred to as communism wasn

Why not, lets mix it up, try some new shit.

Sort of like "Sugar Rose" - with a little inflection on "Rose" to make it sound a bit more like "Rows" - er, I think.

Is hitting and catching a ball, in a sane society, commensurate with earning 10 million dollars a year? Like I said, funnel some of that money back into the community

Yes

No, I

One would hope that a more equal distribution of wealth, and a higher standard of living for all, would be enough of an impetus for continuing to create and innovate. Much of the innovation behind our current technology came by way of the military, using our tax dollars. The rights to those inventions are then passed along to industry, resulting in the consumer level production of said technologies

Of course teachers (or anyone for that matter) would accept greater monetary reward for the job they provide

I'm going to go right ahead and take the liberty of blaming Mr. Simmons' hairpiece.

The unfortunate side effect of this system is people who work their asses off, teachers for example, receive very little by way of monetary reward, while musicians, actors and athletes are rewarded in a way that far exceeds any actual benefit they provide. A persons financial worth is in now way a barometer by which to measure their worth as a human being. Millions of people work harder than you could ever, in your wildest nightmare, envision, yet get paid very little for their efforts. Our current system is rigged, corrupt, unfair in a way that cannot simply be reduced to some people tr

Charging exorbitant amounts of money for tickets sort of tarnishes that whole little scene they had going back there in the sixties - it

Is there something about McCartney that demands he charge two, three or four times more than other performers? He makes boatloads of money through touring, boatloads - lowering ticket prices would allow more folks to see him play, folks who don

And you will continue to feel like a broken record - you

This is THAT Paul McCartney we are referring to correct - the one whose is reportedly worth about 1.6 billion dollars - BILLION dollars - I

Companies Outsourcing Jobs Give Bush Camp. Big $$$$$ WASHINGTON - March 10 - President Bush makes one of his political campaign stops in Ohio today, a state that has suffered the loss of 270,000 manufacturing jobs during his administration. The economic crisis has raised questions about why the White House last month strongly endorsed the outsourcing of U.S. jobs to cheap overseas labor markets. On the eve of his trip to Ohio to
