I worked with one of the stupid. He was camping with friends,decided to get fire burning faster,remember now the fire is already burning. He gets 6 gallons of gas out of his truck stands next to fire and pours gas over flames. What in the hell did he think would happen He spent a few days in hospital. I told him if he had no more since he should have been burnt asshole to elbow and I meant every word of it. Needless to say last I heard he got a big settlement from them. Keep in mind that his Daddy just recieved an eight hundred thousand dollar settlement from insurance company because he, no one else involved was driving a logging truck to fast himself no one else and ran it off an embankment in a sharp curve that he knew was there and drives same rode everyday. Says he hurt back and neck and no longer can work. I told the son him and his daddy both was the reason everyone that tried and wanted to work and have insurance could hardly afford it. I also said the world would be better off with out pieces of sh*t like them!!!!!

Mr Michael , you are so right.
Some times it seems the harder we work
the farther behind we get .

BUT there is a great satisfaction in knowing
that we did the right thing.
It helps me to sleep good at night.

I know what you mean. That's how I try to raise my daughter. I tell her to do the best she can at whatever she decides to do in life and not to try and take the free ride and she will have much happier life.
