after all, Men are pigs, as I've learned from the feminists who also hate Bush)

We men have been classified as pigs by the femiNazis since long before Bush came on the scene.

In the early 1970s the feminist secretary assigned to me said I was a pig because I wanted her to do her job. She thought filing paper records (this was before the computer age came to our office) was beneath her dignity as a proud and independent woman, and because I insisted she do it anyway I became a pig. She had earlier applied for a transfer to the factory floor where she wanted to train for a welding job, but the GM had rejected her application. She wanted to weld I-beam all day in a hot, smelly factory for practically the same pay she received for filing and typing in a clean, air conditioned office. Welding steel wasn't beneath her dignity, but office work was. Go figure.

Of course everyone who didn't toe the feminist, anti-war, hippy-dippy line in those days was called a pig. The mid-60s-early-70s era was an awful time for me and others like me who loved our great nation. Seeing that sorry episode in America's history being brought back into focus by the current controversy over Kerry's anti-war protests reminds me how much I hated it then, and still do today.

That was then, now they expect to be an overpaid manager the day they graduate from school. Go figure is right.
