80 percent labor costs...where did that number come from? I can't find it.
I work at UPS (union workers, by the way) and I think that the USPS is a great bargain...........think about it, you can send a letter ANYWHERE in the USA for 44 cents,. What a value. What else can you get for 44 cents now days? Their package rates are good too.
Looks like your blog entry has gotten lots of responses, and that is good for you.
I am a "recovering" fundamentalist christian, and it is hard for me to figure out why so many people are duped by supernatural myths...(i.e. "Religion").
You might want to do some more background on this one....It's not Brian's idea, he's just a dupe wana-be.
The "mastermind" behind this is Rev. Harold Camping, and this is his second go at this sort of thing. Wonder what his story will be on the 22nd? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/04/may-21-2011-judgment-day_n_804166.html
Did they run down to the hardware store for the bladders as the water rose, or did they buy them ahead of time, just in case? It would have been easier to just drive the car to higher ground the day before. ....I'll admit, I didn't read the story on the link, but seems like this obvious question would be addressed in the Neato summary.
Looks like the dog is a little confused/unsure. My guess is that the guy behind the camera encouraged the dog to do this in order to make a youtube video. ...call me a cynic if you want, bu I call 'em as I see 'em.
...our tax dollars at work. We spend (officially) 689 BILLION dollars per year on the military. A lot more if you count the CIA, NSA, and the stuff that gets hidden. Why? Has anyone tried to invade our country? No. How could they...unless we are afraid of Mexico or Canada invading us.
Of course some fringe wackos hijacked some planes on 9-11 and attacked and killed 3,000, and it was a bad thing....but we kill lots more of civilians in other countries for our own economic interests. For instance: In Vietnam and more recently to protect our OIL supply during the Iraq war(s).
If there was no oil in the Middle East, we would ignore it like we ignore the evil dictators in Africa. Tell me I'm wrong....
