    DD>> Doctors make up a LARGE part of those in the 1%.   
      
    JM> They do?   
      
    DD>> Lawyers make up another HUGE segment.   
      
    JM> How huge?   
      
    JM> Larger than the Movie and entertainment crowd? More than   
    JM> all the sports  super stars?   
      
    Yeah. How many sports superstars do you think there are? How   
    many Movie Stars. You do realize most actors don't make enough   
    to earn a living just from working, don't you? And those that do   
    typically don't for very long.   
      
    Doctors make up the biggest single group in the 1%.   
      
    DD>> And if you think that the AMA and the ABA are not unions   
    DD>> then you have no understanding of the word union.   
      
    JM> You can tell me the at you don't think I understand; Do not   
    JM> think you are smart enough to actually tell what I do and   
    JM> do not understand.   
      
    And you want to complain about personal attacks?   
      
    DD>>> Certainly one with a unique or marketable skill will do better "on   
    DD>>> the economy". Like rock stars. But, most of the work force are not   
    DD>>> rock stars. Some are barely competent to put money in a juke box -   
    DD>>> but, can perform useful and necessary work. Having a union to   
    DD>>> protect their rights   
      
    JM>>> What rights? 40 hr week, two week vacation, sick time, company car?   
    JM>>> Here's a CLUE, none of those are rights.   
      
    DD>> Where did I claim anything like that.   
      
    DD>>> Some are barely competent to put money in a juke box -   
    DD>>> but, can perform useful and necessary work. Having a union to   
    DD>>> protect their rights   
      
    DD>> You are resorting to putting words   
    DD>> in my mouth that I never uttered to point up YOUR pet peeves.   
      
    JM> I asked what rights, gave examples of some things that   
    JM> misinformed people think are rights and expressed my   
      
    I happen to think those things *ARE* rights, if our society   
    decides they are.   
      
    JM> opinion.  You chose not to answer the question. Instead you   
    JM> assume that these are my pet peeves and make accusations   
    JM> about me putting words in your mouth.   
      
    He was right on that one.   
      
    ...   
      
    JM> Selfish attitudes?   
    JM> What do you think is selfish?   
      
    I would say any attitude that ends up with what is to your   
    advantage is right, and if it leaves others suffering it doesn't   
    matter.
