You know, I hadn't really noticed that freepers trash federal employees. That is most unfortunate and I will keep you in mind the next time I see that happening.
thanks....the other day after it was announced that the federal government was being shut down to honor RR, i never saw such anger in my life. i've worked for the federal government since i was 18 years old - and i'm 54 now - and been very proud ot it. my dad retired from the usaf and then worked for the government as a civilian, my brother served in the usaf for 4 years ( to include 3 in se asia) and is now a postal employee (who happens to work his a$$ off 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week) and all of us are republicans....ok, enough of that gripe....i love this country....and i'm proud to work for my government - even though i have to swallow the bile when it's someone like Klintoon who is in the white house....
