"I really don't see, at least on this thread, a whole lot of people running around blaming others. There may be facts you choose to ignore, but that does not make them any less of a fact. Happy New Years and may your glasses always be colored rose."

Having been in an executive position, then watching a company cut salary at my level to insure the bonus level for higher execs, I know alot about the bitter feelings of the unemployed. But I learned my lesson. I had two choices. Go back to the headhunting route or do my own thing. I chose the latter. It's much harder than washing cars or opening a lawn service because you will fail 99% of the time initially. But if someone is whining because they can't find a job at the same pay scale they were at before, then perhaps they should get off their butts and create a job for themselves and work hard enough to get to the level of income they desire. I do still believe that that is legal in the good old U.S. of A. I'm doing it. It sucked at first, big time. But my glasses were not "colored rose", more like tinted and bloodshot. Now, even in these tough times, I'm muddling through, as I watch my former co-workers go to slaughter in the industry I was in.

May you have happy new year, and think about what really needs to be done in this nation. No corporation can export "your job", if you are the only employee and the boss.
