"Our biggest problem is civic ignorance". He went on to say "What I worry about is when problems are not addressed. People will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough ....someone will come forward and say 'give me total power and I will solve this problem.' That is how the Republic fell in Roman times. Augustus became emperor not because he arrested the Roman Senate. He became emperor because he promised he would solve all the problems that were not being solved." How prophetic he was. less

Last wk someone from teletech called me , they had my number from applications i had filled out with them before. I told them I wasnt sure I could work there cause i didnt do that good on the assessments so thats why they hadnt hired me before. the girl I talked to said that they took the assessment requirement for the job out and asked me to come in for an interview the next day, I went and they hired me, what I find ironic is that someone upstairs changed the rules specifically for me so id get employed, thats just so weird, ive never had that happen before. an... less

I don't want to block the person, just the group. It was not from the Adult section, I unjoined that when I found out I would get feeds from ALL the groups there.
The GOP Prex wannaba says he should have gotten an Emmy for The Apprentice. Does he ever admit that what he does and who he is is second-rate and incredibly ordinary?
