and as soon as the war ended, his " unique qualities" were
immediately rejected, no longer required.

Today, in that situation, his social/economic class still do exactly
the same thing as happened to Winston; they employ nannies and an
early-age private boarding school to contain the affected child,
socialise them as far as possible, and distance/minimise any negative
impact on family life.

The catholic high school I went to had a rather poor football team. First
year record was 1 - 14. My wife went to the public school in the same
territory. They have a great team, with many of the starting players
flunked out of our school.

The problem with an elected government is that voters don't want to vote for
any candidate who tells them that hard times are ahead, and that they've got
to make sacrifices. In the 2008 Presidential election, Ron Paul seemed to be
the only candidate who could actually add and subtract, and he painted a
grim economic picture which seems to have been spot-on, but people don't
vote for a candidate like that; they'll vote for a charismatic liar selling
a dream almost every time.

Bonuses to high ranking employees who haven't done anything to earn
them is what enrages my husband. "They bankrupt their companies and

That's jes that ol' US entitlement mindset kicking in. You think
white collar types aren't equally insulted when they're offered 30%
less than they were making at GM during those halcyon days of
prosperity and plenty?

I got a buddy who was making six figures a year working for the govt.
After the crash and a failed attempt at self business, he found a
same-ol' job with the govt at 30% less. He's bitter.

The 90s made us all greedy and stupid. Now we're jes greedy or poor.

There's one in every office. There was a guy where I worked who spent most
of his time in the morning trying to figure out which department had
doughnuts. Or which department was having a pot luck lunch. If there was
free food, he'd find it. He'd stand around the coffee station for an hour,
chit-chatting, while the rest of us did his job for him (it was a software
support help desk). If it had been a company that gave out bonuses he'd
probably have gotten one. He knew how to schmooze, I'll give him that.

Yeah, the initial salary isn't as abysmal anymore. My kids entered
the (public) workforce at almost exactly what I was making after 10
years on the job (teaching). Benefits and job security make up for
almost stagnant pay... which shouldn't be expected to rise any more
than the cost of living if the public sector employee is satisfied
with their position.
