I have seen some of Moore's interviews in the past week. he seems to believe that Obama's “heart” is in the right place, but that he needs to not offer a compromise from the get go to people who never had any intention of working with him (Healthcare reform) In '03 he supported single payer system, now he is willing to let even the public option slide?? No, you make up your mind, and stick to your guns. ; > )

I did like Roger and Me. I saw it while reading GM worker Ben Hampers "Rivethead" while authoring my own adventures in blue collar work abroad.

Moore did urge us to vote for Obama so that his admin would tax the rich into financing free health care for all. So, since Mike's now rich I've contacted him repeatedly asking him to give me some free money for my meds, like he'd gifted the owner of (anti-site) Moorewatch with, but so far he's been strangely Roger Smith-ish in answering my request.

(To this day said owner treats the story like NT UMTS or similar. No need to bring that up anymore, eh)

Have you heard of the Filmmaker, Michael Moore? That's who makes the most sense to me.. His first film was called Roger and me, about how the GM CEO caused the pain and suffering of not only his family, but the entire town in Michigan he lived in. That was 20 years ago! Closing plants here only to open them in mexico for cheap labor. Some things never change, eh? His other film, Sicko about the Healthcare Industry, Fahrenheit 911 about Bush, and the lies he told, and now his newest film – Capitalism: A Love Affair. You HAVE to see it. It is so funny, BUT so true. IMHO ~ He is not a socialist, not against capitalism, but not for the top 1% getting everything and 95% suffer. He is For: Democracy. Like you and I he believes in not wasting things, he is against greed and fraud in our Corporations..
Good Luck Less…

Metrics, metrics. I gotta make my daily quota and do so flawlessly or I won't last beyond the third trial week.

Given how much perfectly good $$$ equipment Nortel threw away over the last decade before resorting to removing lightbulbs from flourescent fixtures its actually painful for me to discard any consumables, no matter how small or cheap.

Oh, ok. Just wondering where you went to .. good luck to you.. at least you are doing something better than removing lightbulbs from flourescent fixtures at NT .. I think they may auction them off with the furniture and fixtures .. ;>}

I got a job fixing cell phones… Ironically, perhaps, phones and electronic of any are forbidden there, and Web access monitored by Big Brother (Cisco).

Real translation: It's a Conservative government, unless this is military, that could potentially fall into they hands of someone they don't trust (ie anyone), then wouldn't block it no matter what.

Though I agree, they shouldn't have blocked the sale. RIM complaints were utter nonsense, but they should have engaged in the normal oversight for these sales.

The Government excuse that they didn't meet some ~$300Million threshold, when it sold for over $1Billion is kind of laughable.
