All these messages are full of horse doughnuts. The people who have the power in this country (dominated by large corporations) are rich older white men and they dictate our personal liberties. In fact, we have very little personal freedom in the United States today. It is pathetic that we take hours to debate what to wear to work and only the "preppie look" and good connections count, not having good moral values or caring about people. If anyone does not believe that these powerful corporations control our government today, look at who is President and his oil and gas buddies! Forget the environment, just ruin it and take the profits from more oil and gas exploration. Corporations dictate every aspect of our lives and if you don't play the game, you will become one of America's poor. |

I'd like to take exception to one part of yuo r message, my friend: You're quite right that companies don't care about your personality and kind heart but why should they? They're not marrying you; they're hiring you to perform a function! They want to know that you are willing and competent to do the job they want you to do - that's all. When I call a plumber to fix the leak I don't ask whether he's good to his mother and feeds stray cats or whether he attends Church every Sunday; I want to know if he can take care of that pesky leak in the sink! A company is no different.
