I appreciate the fact that all parties here have not resorted to name calling or foul language. There will always be a gap between us but this is the Arizona Cobras forum, so why so much attention from a Canadian who has no vote in our politics?

And there was an Aussie on this thread too. SOB's all of them.
Seriously, it's the Californian's you have to worry about. Our manuals are VERY LARGE.
Especially, the Californians that eat popcorn, own boats and Cobra replicas. Ya, you Bernica.

Err... You missed one
and NO! we aren't all Sexy Old Buggers... some of us are just plain ugly.
I speak of/for myself, of course.
Further and more importantly - can some genius please explain to me how anyone can justify spending considerably more to get a job, than they would ever earn in that job?

Not sure what that means... Ben Bernanke was chairman of the FED for 8 years or so... Maybe even studied Economics once or twice... Yet from a far and in hindsight, it's evident he knew little...

It doesn't take a genius, just someone a little more knowledgeable than you, which quite frankly, is nothing to write home about. After 8 years max you have this for life. (Not to mention the millions made at public speaking venues).
"The retirement benefits received by former Presidents include a pension, Secret Service protection, and reimbursements for staff, travel, mail, and office expenses. The Presidential pension is not a fixed amount, rather it matches the current salary of Cabinet members (or Executive Level I personnel), which is $191,300/year as of March, 2008 (but see "Salary Info" section above for advice on how to track increases in this figure)."

Aussies are easy to miss. Don't they all hide in the bush? Well, at least rare BBF intakes do.
BTW, presidential candidates for the most part spend other people's money. Not much of their own.

Yes Sir, I had read it.
But you misinterpreted the comment - I know what it "is", but not what it "means" - as in: the relevance of listing titles & flashing badges.
Again, I'll try this example - George Bush was president - He can put that on his CV. It doesn't impress me much. Einstein, on the other hand, flunked out of pretty much everything.
Oh yes... and apart from English not being my first language, I DO suffer from selective comprehension - I choose to NOT even bother comprehending what's fed to the sheeple.

Ahhh RK, thank you. I knew I could rely on you... I was hoping someone would go there... So do you not find this both inherently problematic and concerning?

Me thinks you folks have covered every subject of interest to modern man in this here thread. We tend to poo-poo politics and I know it's difficult with it being a lead up to a political year with various hair styles appearing at republican debates, and no style at all in the democrat camp (damn sorry...even I have thoughts from time to time).
Very impressed with how you folks have had a controlled discussion thus far...but please, no flare-ups or I will slam it shut.
I'm with Bernie.. Time to watch the ducks and geese and other feathered critters..
Here's Bernica, a friend and his buddy the duck boating up in Seattle. And they're discussing the current state of our health care system here in the US, all captured in this video:
Oh, and Bernica fell off the dock and hurt his arm.
