I think it is interesting that you talk about being jealous of someone that might make more money than you and in the same breath ask if I have low self esteem..

And if you are going to keep publicly badmouthing Delta, I couldn't care less if you stay here. As a matter of fact, I would prefer you go somewhere you would rather be.

And lastly, I couldn't care less how you are going to vote. But it is obvious that you are going to to little if any research because you have already made up your mind. That is pathetic because it shows that you are a member of the American Idol generation. ready fire aim. You have your push button soundbite, and the entire package is made up based on that. Sad. I would prefer intelligent voters, and you obviously are not one.
