I'm dealing with it right now, with a crew of idiots working on my building. "There ain't no global warming". I guarantee these guys would vote for Palin.

And the work these guys do reflects their ATTITUDE.

We're talking about human nature, but also a phenomenon that has amplified it. The rate at which our society is moving. it's too fast for most people to digest and keep up with.

I don't know.

I lost a friend yesterday. The guy is brilliant. We both got mechanical engineering degrees together. That was back in the late 80's. He was a liberal. Or so I thought. I remember him spouting erroneous engineering facts when we were in school. It infuriated me that he had this amazing ability to get everyone to believe him. And his memory is nearly photographic. He has since turned into a "pro" on the economy. But again, he's wrong. Everything goes in convenient cycles that blame either Democrats, or both parties equally. And that's just not the case. Yesterday after a long discussion of OSHA, ESHA, sewage treatment facilities, real estate, and bicycling (we were great cycling buddies), he finally gave me the hint I needed. He didn't vote for Obama. It may be weak of me, but that was the end of our friendship. I guess that may be my problem. But I don't hang around people with poor judgment. Because any choice but Obama was an exhibit of poor judgment.

Oh well Forgive my blabbing. I'm ill today. And very unhappy. And trying to get 1000 pounds of roofing panels onto a building with a crane that is just about too small. Life...
