    BB> As long as you know it's just an exercise, that's fine.  But you'd   
    BB> have more luck pulling the handle of a slot machine - at least there   
    BB> you have a chance of winning. :)   
      
    RW> YOu got that right friend!   
      
   Gotta love ole Rush :)  Man, did he stir up a hornets nest.   
      
      
    RW>    
      
      
    BB> Good question, but above my pay grade. :)  Then when you read that   
    BB> 50% of the babies born by women under 30 are by unwed mothers.  Just   
    BB> another clue that tells you the younger generation is turning their   
    BB> back on marriage, probably driven by the high divorce rate.  Of   
    BB> course some of these women may be in a committed relationship that   
    BB> may work in lieu of marriage - time will tell.

    RW> kids to raise, maybe the state will take care of their kids, and via

   Yeah, pop out the kid, put in child care.

    BB> Anything tied to the medical field might work.  Learn to repair that   
    BB> stuff and I would think you would have a fighting chance at a decent   
    BB> living.   
      
    RW> YEp, so long as they can't outsource it.  A lot of that   
    RW> though, they just swap out a new circuit board or a new   
    RW> component.  YOu can train a monkey to swap out boards and   
    RW> components.  But, it's probably still better than being in   
    RW> the cube farm answering the phone until the corporation   
    RW> outsources your job to the next third world country looking   
    RW> for an opportunity.   
      
      
   Yup, but then someone has to be the keeper of the cards.  :)     
      
   But I did see an ad on the telly last night about some appliance manufacturer   
   who has moved his factory back here.  Major name, just can't dig it out right   
   now.
