-> Hi Manny              10/2/06 5:00 PM

-> I'm probably know in the Echo for being a little thick sometimes, and
for
-> not being afraid to admit it.   
-> 
-> After the 3 quotes I have bracketed below. I have my question:
-> 
-> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-> JW> I don't know. At the time it paid about twice as much as 
-> JW> what any other job a teenager could get would.
-> MR-> The bastard!
-> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-> DS-> This year - for the first time in a while - the local farms here
-> ds-> had more work than migrants to do it.  So they were advertising
-> ds-> for help by putting up flyers at places where kids were hanging
-> ds-> out. They were paying $11.75 an hour for pickers, with bonuses
-> ds-> for stitchers (who need to be experienced - it's a fairly skilled
-> ds-> job.)
-> mr-> The bastards!
-> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-> JW-> My uncle's tobacco farm had cabins way back when and Bill has two
-> jw-> mobile homes on his farm behind the main house which is enough for 
-> jw-> his small operation.
-> mr-> The bastard!
-> XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

-> BF> I can see you are making a point here, via repetition.  But I

-> 
-> If serious, are you just condemning the various people referred too?
-> 

Jim had it right, I was making fun at the leftest dogma of the grower
man always cruelly exploiting the poor harvest slaves. I dislike
most dogmas because they are a lazy or manipulative substitutes for
critical thinking. I especially dislike leftest dogma because it
is usually so goal oriented.

-> BF> Don't be angry, I just can't understand your point.  And actually 
-> I'm having a tough time making my <own> questions clear.  [g]  Bear
 ->with me.

Why would I be angry at a legitimate question? And besides, I rarely get
angry with well intentioned people like you and Shirly.
