that gets on my nerves...
29. 1 in 4 homeless people in this country is a military veteran. In contrast, they only make up about 11% of the general population. Think about that for a minute--let it sink in. Amazing, isn't it, how supporting the troops is only cool so long as they're at war? What about when they come home? Does the yellow ribbon on the back of an SUV help them then? Is it a little hypocritical that people claim I don't "support my troops" because I'm a Dem, but those same people support ending public assistance programs that could help the homeless--25% of whom are former American military members??

Preach it, Sukie, preach it!
I ditto Alexandra's response! But here's my gripe of the day although unrelated to this topic:
DON'T SEND A FUCKING EMAIL UNLESS IT APPLIES TO THE RECIPIENTS!!!
Scenario:
The manager of our division (Manager #1) sends an email to the managers of his departments and states, "forward as you see fit". The message is from a head hunter looking for a CEO for a multi-BILLION $$$ business!!! The manager of our department forwards the message to us (the peons). Here's my gripe:
1. Manager #1: YOU are not even qualified for this position. Why would you even forward the email?
2. Manager #2: Why are you forwarding this email? Is it because...
a) you want us to feel more inferior than you already TRY to make us feel?
b) you think we're stupid enough to think we can even get this job of running a multi-billion $$$ business?
c) you don't think we're busy enough sending emails back and forth to clients?
d) you want a cutesy response to verify who is an ass-kisser in the dept.?
e) you blind-copied Manager #1 when you forwarded the message to verify you follow directives and know how to kiss ass yourself?
f) you don't have enough to do in your job?
g) you want to irritate us?
h) you think it's funny and YOU (Manager #2) are actually making fun of Manager #1 (YOUR BOSS)?
I could go on and on--maybe it's been one of those days.
In any event, there's my rant, and I've participated in NABLOMO today. Peace out and have a GREAT FRIDAY, Peeps!!!
I got that e-mail--ridiculous.
