"WHAT DOES THE WHITE COLLAR HIGH TECH WORKER THINK ABOUT TH GLOBAL ECONOMY NOW ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE. "

"There was a lot of sneering at the blue collar types by the white collar types when the blue collar types were losing their jobs and homes. Home foreclosures under Clinton were at very high levels but those who didn't see their own fates were headed in the same direction thought those without college degrees deserved what they got."

Always kinda of found it humorous that computer geeks thought (or think) that they are better than a brick layer, plumber, or mechanic.

Computerism is nothing more than a TRADE. A TRADE where you dont get your hands dirty.

No matter what I've done, I've never thought those who did those jobs were somehow lesser that I. If anything, I thought the wholesale exodus of work going to China, Taiwan, Mexico, Indonesia, and other such rat holes was the beginning of the end. I may have been right all along....
