[quote=pri_dk][quote=flu]…And yet people have no qualms sharing every intimate and personal details about their life on facebook, myspace, linkedin, twitter, etc,etc,etc..[/quote]
But BG keeps asking me about my “immediate family” – what should I do? – should I post up my wife’s life-story or my dad’s income?…[/quote]
pri_dk, you put YOURSELF out there about a couple of months back by stating personal details about your family RIGHT HERE on this blog, when asked by me why you had so much time to spend here trashing public employees and their VERY hard-earned pensions! This is a personal affront to (likely) dozens of Piggs who are past or current “government employees.” Until you yourself serve 20, 25, or 30+ years of service to the public, you have no idea exactly what these workers had to go thru to finally become eligible to collect their pensions!
No one has asked you about your spouse (or even if you had one) or your dad (be grateful you still have one if you do). You’re “whining” here, again.
[quote=pri_dk]…Seriously folks, instead of ranting on a blog, why not actually DO SOMETHING:
– First, quit focusing on Obama and take note of the hundreds of our elected officials who actually did approve of this legislation. Is your congressman on the list? (mine is) Write a letter, make a call, or at least do an online petition.
– Second, try to remember some junior-high civics and understand that this will be battled in the courts and that court battles cost money. So give some money to the organizations that actually are fighting this thing and have a shot at overturning it. The ACLU and EFF are good places to start.
Or you could put your tin-foil hats on and whine about the “PTB” …[/quote]
This is the first lucid post based upon “reality” that I have seen coming from you (from the threads I’ve actually read). I’ve been saying this stuff all along and even repeated it in the thread we were discussing above:
[quote=bearishgurl – March 8, 2012, at 10:59 pm]…Why don’t you lobby your congressman or legislator to abolish the entire portion of the CA Government Code (and while you’re at it, the CA Education Code, too) that deals with “collective bargaining.” Maybe you two are collectively “smart enough” to line it out and write in new code, lol!
Look at the initial sentence of this thread here. What does it say?? “Okay time for some fun.” (sans punctuation)
pri_dk, did you ever consider that the entire premise of this thread was to give sdr a platform for attacking public-worker benefits and pensions??
Duh …..
sdr claims he went up there to view the “Miraval tract.” Have we been discussing that here???
NO! The discussion on this thread (entirely led and directed by the OP) devolved from the materials used to build a public building (that the workers using it had no part of choosing) back to . . . where else but public salaries and pensions?
Given this particular OP and main participant(s), should we be surprised??
Since you’re both so presumably “successful” and thus have a lot of time on your hands to “whine” about sh!t none of us has any control over, why don’t you begin writing your representatives right now about your plans to repeal (wholesale) the CA Government and Education Codes?…[/quote]
For the record, I do not know who pri_dk is and we have never had any “PM communications” on this website or any communications at all off this public blog.
