I live in Philadelphia. I am an unemployed technogeek whose technology has fallen behind and desparately trying to catch up and get back into the thick of it.
Politically, I am a liberal democrat except on one issue: EEOC. I have had a couple of unqualified female supervisors who made my life a living hell, just because I was a guy. The guys in my generation got Vietnam. The women got EEOC. That's not fair.
When I was a child, women were held prisoner in small units called families, in which, I foolishly thought, they were voluntary participants. Now, after elucidation by the liberal wing of the Democratic part, I realize these women were victims of cruel male oppression. The only way the yoke of male oppression could be lifted from women's shoulders is if she and her sisters vote, as a block, for liberal democratic politicians. They, in turn, would buy those votes by handing out political plums, like job quotas. Where's my job quota?
I am opposed to the war in Iraq. I think the 660 billion dollars we've spent so far would have better been spent to repair worn out physical infrastructure in our nation's older cities, improving or schools, providing prescription medicine price relief to our senior citizens, providing health care to the 45 million Americans who have no health insurance (including me), finding a way to rescue some our poor people from rotting inner city slums. But then, I guess I am just a tax and spend Democrat, as our President would say.
If anyone reads this, I would appreciate hearing your views as well. Also, if any of you technogeeks out there have advice on how to revive my dormant computer career, I would sure like to hear it.
Thanks, Technoandy.
