For me, it's a waste of time. It's not difficult to find a minimum wage-ish job to replace another.<BR/><BR/>In the second case, I'm illustrating my understanding of the liberal mindset. Denise over at <B>Blink and You'll Miss It</B> thinks that I'm closed-minded, so I'm showing that I understand liberal thinking. Of course, I'm kidding.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind, I have to write some entries from the perspective of migrants, who are the current subject of the blog. I have to get "in character" to be able to accurately describe their lives. You can't accurately assume that everything I write is from direct experience. If I do it, or did it, it would be stated as such.<BR/><BR/>I do take the moral highground, and generally get stomped, rather than rewarded for it. I also see others lie, cheat, and steal their way to success whilst I struggle. I suggest reading more of the blog for a better understanding of who you just criticized.Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18197370675477100853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13972081.post-1155050737597279532006-08-08T10:25:00.000-05:002006-08-08T10:25:00.000-05:00Perhaps?

This immorality will never be rewarded. Your reporting is accurate, but your tacit approval implies that you are probably doing the same. By searching for justifications you are just beginning the slide down a slippery slope that will never satisfy. Take the moral highground and watch how your efforts will be rewarded.ArmandoArehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788727110656540407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13972081.post-1154958276818475052006-08-07T08:44:00.000-05:002006-08-07T08:44:00.000-05:00hi,We started a free site called teachade for teac...hi,<BR/><BR/>We started a free site called teachade for teachers and I was wondering if you'd take a look to see what you think. Basically we're looking to build a community of teachers to support each other through professional development and resource exchange. We're looking for your input and suggestions on how to improve the site. Hope to see you join us and participate. <BR/><BR/>www.teachade.com<BR/><BR/>-Ben<BR/><BR/>bmcferren@teachade.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
