Okay, GfS... Next time yer toilet backs up, call a folk musican... lol...

That is about as silly an analogy as I have ever heard... Geeze...

Some folks, as evidenced by American Idol, are born with good voices and learn to sing on their own... The operative word here is "learn"... Lotta folks "learn" by just lsitening and singing along... That's an acceptable way to learn...

In the trades that is what apprenticeship programs are for... It allows one to observe (listen) and "learn" from, like singing, practice... That's the part that JtP apparently hasn't done... That's where, as an employer, I say, "Hey, this guy is just going to cost me money because he doesn't know what he's doing and I'm probably going to have to go behind him and chean up is mess..."

You know, kinda like what Obama is going to have to do...

Really, when you look at John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as his VP it makes perfect sense that McCain would put his campaign in the hands of someone like Joe the Plumber...
