"Recently I have been accused of a lack of respect for my own chosen profession and that is not entirely true"

Then you say things like:

"I had a deep respect..."
"I respected my profession..."

I'd rather eat lunch and go for a bike ride on the beach than go back and pull up all the quotes that prove you don't respect the profession TODAY. And, what you write is so slanted by that opinion that I know for a fact that some of what you write is totally inaccurate.

But this forum is all about differing opinions, therefore, you have an audience for your stuff, which is all that really matters.

People that don't resepct the profession, TODAY, should not be involved in it.
