Wearing my IT manager hat, I stood at a booth to help promote my employer's tech savvy at a technology conference in Harrisburg back in the mid 1990s. I had time to sit in on a few presentations. At one, many of the attendees were griping about finding trainable workers, but I left wondering how many of them championed spending money on better schools to educate those workers.

You're correct, it is a bad combination; booze dulls the mind and makes people say stupid things.

Although Unions are not the greatest thing; without them we had no voice.

There is power in numbers. (Unions) United we stand, divided we fall.

Unions are a tool in our struggle.

It's all good. I just don't like the word "luck." Plus I was drinking vodka when someone said unions are the greatest thing. Bad combination!

Richard, I noticed A's remark had been directed to you. I in no way was implying anything about you in my comment. I just thought A's statement was very good, especially as I have remade myself so many times, all due to my choices, I have lost count.

I couldn't have said that better myself.

There are great divides among people and you have just described one of them. The people who have worked hard to get where they are can be divided into two broad groups. Those who feel the need to criticize others for not having achieved as much, and those who don't. I long ago gave up trying to understand the first group. Maybe it comes down to one's upbringing and parents. My Dad was a self made man and he was absolutely the first guy who would help someone else in need. He did not die rich but he gave me some values which I cherish.

In reply to The OWS protest lacks a

However, the only problem is with so many people out of work the employers have a field of tens of millions of applicants to select from to fill vacancies left by those engaged in the protest.

"A survey by ManpowerGroup found that a record 52 percent of U.S. employers have difficulty filling critical positions within their organizations -- up from 14 percent in 2010."

In Physics class in high school we had to build and present to the class a homemade clock of our own design. Mine was the Cigarette Clock. Stood in front of the class and smoked a cigarette for seven minutes. Got an A.
