On one of my rare Facebook adventures I encountered a libtard that claimed healthcare was a “right”. When she responded to my inquiry on just how she had come by this curious notion she indignantly lay claim to some mystical special authority as she was “Magna Cum Luade from George Mason Law School. ‘93”. I responded apparently they failed to teach “Magna Cum Laudes” at George Mason in the 90s what I learned in high school in the 60s. Her next reply was nearly unintelligible and completely irrational.
I recently had to attend an event with Mrs WBill, populated by all academic types, and their various hangers-on.
The first question from every single person that I met was, "So, What do you do for a living?". My job is not who I am, so I just gave a noncommittal answer. They wouldn't have cared anyway, they were more interested in telling me that they were the "Senior Director for the Advanced Program to the blah blah blah" ...whatever. Like I'll be impressed or something. My job is to make a company go, not just attend meetings and shuffle papers around.
Mentioned it to my dad. He said, "It's because they want to pigeonhole you into a specific profile." Makes as much sense as anything.
My grandfather used to hang around with some important people in his retirement community, heck, his usual golf foursome had a former 3-star, and the former CEO of a Fortune 5 company. No one there *ever* asked me what I did. It was enough that I was "WBill Sr. 's grandson", that's what was important.
I really liked all those guys. Great men, all of them, with good stories to tell.
