I’m torn. I’m a veteran of the 1st Iraq Shit Show and the Cold War. I didn’t join out of patriotism, I was in a crappy small town and I wanted out. It worked. Being the military actually MADE me a Liberal. (Kind of hard to hate people for the color of their skin when you share a life with them, hard to hate…

Maybe some kind of trade agreement across the Pacific would help achieve that?

I’ve some experience in hiring/firing at both my current job and my previous job (engineering related).
