Please Fish, enlighten me with your truths. After all, the powers to be share everything with you, correct?
Fish, I choose to believe not everyone in life is out to screw you. How many successful CEO's do you know? I know a few and a have sampled their motivations? Most are very egotistical, but also are very interested in seeing both themselves succeed as well as there employees. It is very personal to them. Don't get me wrong they will put themselves and their families first. That is their right, their business. Just as I did when I had my own business.
You can continue with your distrust, thats fine. Personally, I think you just enjoy seeing people fail. I'm sure you had a party when your brothers were tossed to the street. Good for you!!
I hear your pessimism, there may even be some slight truths to them. My problem with you is you want to see my family and I fail. What I have I ever done to you?? I have been an Alpa member, I have been furloughed, I have served my country, I have paid my dues. What would else do require, and who are you to require it?
I pray you and your family never know what many of us have gone through. It wasn't the end of the world, but none the less a little tough.
Fish, I don't need your sympathy, but I will have your respect. If I should ever [deleted threats].
Now back to your miserable life.
