Post #358,161 by boxley 5/28/12 9:52:18 PM Reply	now I wonder if our lincoln would write a similar letter to michael dell, after michael invited him back to work. In a completely different thread of course as this one is not the right place for it. Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep
Post #358,171 by lincoln 5/29/12 9:24:30 AM Reply	not a chance that author was much too kind and polite. If I were ever to write a letter to my former employer I, as is my custom, be forthright, direct, and to the point, holding back nothing. "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

May all ex- (and wannabe-) Slavers be pissed-on eternally by endless herds of crazed mastodons who had to imbibe something Awful first.. Say, cases of Coors Light or other disgusting Murican travesties (which are first processed through a horse, against his will.) .hr Law above fear, justice above law, mercy above justice, love above all.
