i dig it. I think I know hard work, and I actually enjoy it..
wat I don't enjoy is the disparity, and the obscene compensation/ hording that has been taking place since the dawn of man by the ultra powerful. Some of those cats couldn't manage an honest day's work if their life depended on it. This ****in' society is half a toilet because of the fend-for-yourself, other-guy-be-damned attitude. I can't see a bone-colored SUV in an affluent part of town without thinking, 'wat an ostentatious, conspicuously consuming POS'
