What screen name is she using?

Eartha, with some last name or other that I don't remember.

So, the new thing with animal rights folks is an "animal abuse offenders list".

Which is basically saying, if you think about it, that victims of sexual assault are comparable to animals.

I don't know that I agree with that logic. I mean, I think that there should be a registry for people who have been involved in corporate/financial crimes, but that doesn't mean that I equate the victims of sexual assault to bank accounts.

Well, the fact is that right now, there is one (1) offenders registry, and that's sexual offenders.  So I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground as to motive, here...Especially after the PETA video that compared the holocaust to slaughterhouses.  Because Jews are cattle.

It's basically Godwin's Law on crack.

Lastly, I don't think we need more lists.  We have the sex offender's registry, the maybe-terrorist list, the do not fly list, the SSSS list, etc.

Also, on Godless Mingle, there's a pack of tards that want to destroy all religious artwork found on public land (including a war memorial or three).

Which is totally not like the Taliban blowing up Buddha statues.

Oh, I don't agree with the animal rights activists, who as far as I can tell are mostly whackjobs. I just also don't think the idea of a registry for animal abusers somehow equates victims of sexual violence with animals.

And I do think that people who have been involved in financial crime should be barred from working in finance, sorta the way if you get busted drunk driving three times in Oregon you're barred from holding a license. Call it a list if you want, but from that perspective everything that keeps track of anything is a list.

The Sistine Chapel - complete garbage, worthless faithfool inspired art, get it out of here, no-one wants to see it.

Like all fanatics and utopians, they've found their One Simple Trick. Religion is bad, and all bad things come from religion, so if they just PURGE ALL THE RELIGION, everything will be perfect!

Pre-trip teleconference with offending vendor in MA.

Cecil (our purchaser) interrupts me constantly.

Russell (or new engineer) goes into it in a concillatory way, also downplaying both our problems and our financial muscle.

There is going to be an ad hoc meeting shortly.  It will not pleasant.

I am astonished at the idea of anyone interrupting you even ONCE. He must completely lack self-preservation instinct.

I had my meeting.  Proper protocol has been established.  When Roger is setting meeting times with a vendor, or chewing their arses, or promising DOOM, the following will occur:

1.  Engineer with wet ink on his degree and afterbirth on his ears will SHUT UP.  Infant engineer is here to LEARN how to be a horrible bastard, not how to stick our collective dicks in the meatgrinder.

2.  Ignorant fucking purchaser will also SHUT UP.

3.  Vendor will SHUT UP.

4.  Any spectators in the room will in fact SHUT UP.

5.  Roger will say what needs to be said.  Roger would appreciate having Stella and Nigel record a Motown riff of Hush/shut your mouth/etc that I can play when people forget the very basic rules I have just outlined.

You have my sympathies.
Them, not so much. They deserve everything they got.
