So why has the bottom line become more important than values, Dickey and AWG???...

No wonder the world is in such a mess... Our collective values are being trumped by corporate greed.... We keep hearing how the American laborer is so much more productive than his foriegn counterparts and that should mean that the American worker should be enjoying a piece of the wealth but, sadly, over the last 20 or so years that is ***not*** the case... No, the Amercian worker is produsing more and more and getting less and less... There was a time when folks could look forward to retirement... Oh sure, we hear that the abby boomers are doing just fine... That is an allusion... The baby boomers are quickly realizing they have been had and that retiremnt is not affordable... Health insurance alone has more than doubled in the last 7 years... Baby boomers, unless thety were lucky enough to be born into wealthy families opr extremely lucky to have worked for a union that BOss Hog's goon haven't yet busted, will be paying around $1000 a month just for health insurance for a realtively health couple... That is insane and makes retiremnt out of reach for many, if not most, baby boomers...

And, hey, the baby boomers have it made compared to their kids and grandkids... These two generations are absolutely screwed... There will be no chance for retirement for most of them unless, of course, they were smart enough to be born with rich parents, or lucky enough to hit the Power Ball lotto...

But the sad thing about this that the US has squandered a perfect opportunity to demonstarte what "human rights" is all about right here in our own back yard but with the way our corrupt governemnt has allowed the corportists (Hitler called them the industrialists when he buddied up to them) to run roughshod over everyone who aren't them the US has not demonstrated it care about "human rights"...

And we wonder hey other folks behave badly???

Hmmmmmm???
