Howdy sir gooddream! I couldn't agree more. We are forced to go to alternative media to help us get an idea of what could really be going on. Bytheway, why was the EPA plugging oil wells in Southern Illinois?

well officially it was because of potential contamination of the nearby rivers which hadn't happened and was extremely unlikely to ever happen. But the real reason was siphoning public money into private pockets.
Oh, that sounds like a typical politicians move! Are things like that why you got out of working for the government?
It's kinda why I got out of working there. I sadly don't have a great deal of ethics when it comes to employment so it's not like i quit on ethical grounds. Mostly I quit because while it sounds great to get paid $30 an hour to do essentially nothing - I maybe had 30 minutes of actual work to do each day - it gets really old turning up to work for 8 hours (10-14 hours if we were on site) each day and just staring at a computer screen with nothing really to do, ever.
But at least I learned on a very micro scale why it is that government budgets so easily get completely out of control. I saw so much waste when i was employed in those positions that I think that everything they do, including and especially my salary, was a complete waste of time and money.
I agree, that kind of job would be nightmarishly boring. Mrs. J. works for the county government and even at that level the waste is astounding! And in her profession the worst, most worthless and laziest people are the ones in charge. lol.
