   I'm glad you thought that..   B)   
      
   But I would be the great enemy of most 'modern' thinkers because   
   I also think everyone should be paid what they are worth whereas   
   many these days think everyone should be paid the same because   
   it's not their fault that they are lazy, dumb or slow...   
   (To be crude about it.)   
      
   These are the same 'thinkers' that don't think anyone should ever   
   fail a grade in school because, again, it's not fair to penalize   
   them for not being as smart as others, ignoring the possibility   
   that they are just lazy..   B)   
      
   I guess I got that attitude because almost every job I ever had,   
   even in Union places, I was often paid more than others around   
   me who had worked there longer because I could do / produce more   
   in the same working hours..   
      
   At least in cases like that you know you're doing well since   
   they are willing to go against the Union to pay you extra..   
   It's not all in your head..   B)
