       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.                            BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
