Oh I see could that. Though I still think that most people that had heard they were part native american would want some sort of real connection (like some artifact or picture handed down through time) before they started indicating that they were part native american on semi-official forms and not just to friends.

Seems to be more than a faculty directory, you nitwit.

It is not whether she gained anything, it is the intent with which the indication was made. Are you saying it might have been accidental that she indicated Native American? Maybe others are less concerned filling out forms correctly than I am.

You lost all credibility when you quoted a cook (different than a chef) from St Peter, MN. I can assure you this is not some hole in the wall spot, that knows what they are talking about. The best that can be said is that they know how to make money.

But have you ever been asked about your heritage, which you know they are asking about for a reason, on a form that is for some official purpose? And if someone of her intelligence didn’t’t understand that, then I am pretty sure I don’t need that person making decisions about my life.

My problem with her explanation is that it doesn’t really address why she had listed herself as Native American on the Texas Bar and documents when she was employed at Harvard University. My wife believed she was part Native American because her mother told her so until her genetic test proved otherwise. She has…

That is more apples to oranges, but I get what you are saying.

Technically a girl? Are you saying the dog was neutered? Because it sure looks like male genitalia in one of the photos

I think her point about the drug cost is on target but calling revenue profit doesn’t help her credibility. Why would I think that she understand the fine points if she can’t take the time to understand the difference between revenue and profit?

I fail to see the problem here. The union hasn’t asked to be recognized and management would rather wait to have it voted in. Seems pretty democratic to me.

Sure, of course I am a detestable person who loves to tell other racial, ethnic or religious minorities what they are doing wrong. I mean I did disagree with YOU.

Comments were totally inappropriate but what difference is it that he know where she lives. I suspect someone could find where I live just by the comments I have left on these websites.

I think until you have been in combat it is easy to judge a soldiers actions according to your civilian life.

Well you have to give the cops credit for not jumping to the correct conclusion!

No Federal income tax. Not saying that that is right just that they did pay taxes.

Reading your thoughts about deductible mortgage interest made me realize that the interest deduction has largely disappeared or at least has been absorbed into the standard deduction. Now there is less incentive to own a home.

How do you handle files that have been created by newer versions? One of our suppliers uses an older version. Which is a pain for us because we have to open customer supplied art and save as it as an older version. Not the end of the world but how someone actively working the graphics field gets by like that is a…

Whatever. Keep collecting your SS/SDI check grandpa (that was thanks to unions) and let us younger folks work it out.

Private equity firms are, quite simply, pools of money that buy companies, shake them up—either by improving them, or gutting them and sucking them dry, or a mix of both—and then try to sell them off for a profit.
