Yeah... ok... next time somebody makes me a promise and I'm dumb enough to
trust them with my future instead of relying upon myself, when they don't
follow through with their promise for what ever reason, I'll go crying to
the government. yeah, right. OR, going way out on a limb here and doing
some real radical thinking, I could take some of my overpaid wages that they
gave me for my underperformance and incompetence and sock them away any way
I choose so I would have nobody to blame but myself. But that wouldn't be
very New Age American, would it?

Ask the victims of Katrina to call their congressmen to help UAL pensioners.
Ask our troops in Iraq to call.
Ask the widows and the family members that have lost loved ones in either
event to call.

Don't ask me.
