If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I have bad intentions, does that mean I'm not going to hell?

Yes, the job situation has gotten to the point where I'm going to start lying. If I get a job, hopefully I'll be good enough to fake it fast.

So yeah. I know Dreamweaver. Course I do. And Real Producer and Alliare Homesite or some damn thing.

The thing that I keep tripping over, of course, is that I see no empirical evidence whatsoever that the modern economy either works or is necessary. If it worked, it would...work. If it was necessary, surely we'd have found a fossilised Alan Greenspan Neanderthal by now.

It is a complete fabrication that we all agree works, therefore it works to some limited extent. But you so rarely hear the Republicans whining about all those slackers who are trying to get jobs, you know. Instead they like to whine about all those welfare moms who don't want jobs. Because they can't fix things at an acceptable level for people like me who want a full time job that pays a living wage. I'm not living on the state's hook; they can't make me take three shitty jobs that still don't pay a living wage.

And yet I want to have a real job. I don't think the world owes me a living, but surely I am exactly the type of person who would be a contributive member of society.

Not, apparently, according to the party in power. Because I haven't millions of dollars to give them.

Shooting is too good for them.

Real job and contributive member of society are not exactly mutually exclusive, but often are. Some professions (teaching, medicine, etc.) would fit the bill, but SO many 'real' (9-5) jobs are.

Unless by 'real' you mean 'socially useful', in which case, I say GO GO GO!

;o)
