    I think you're right about that.

    That reminds me. I need to pick up a mixing scotch.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Hell, I'm still alive and I've ingested much worse in my life. I stick to the whiskey now days however.

    I drank a case of beer every day for years and I'm over 50. Had a good life and if I die tomorrow I can't say I was cheated on anything.

    Yes, please don't mix anything in with really good 15 year old single malt. Enjoy that on the rocks or neat with a good stogie!

    I remember as a kid being told that Coke would rust your stomach.

    Eat and drink what you want in moderation. Tomorrow Coke will be okay and something else will be bad.
    "If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner."

    "The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable."

    H. L. Mencken

    Exactly. The leftist $#@!s want to tell you what to do with your body, the neocon $#@!s like Santorum want to dictate to you their view of morality. Screw them both.

    I to was in the same field. Concrete! I worked for a General Contractor. He handled bringing City Water to the suburbs and when he was running big they use to do all the Bridgework in Chicago. Until the partners split up. Although, this was not what he hired me for Initially.

    Once they split he handled building pumping stations and well houses out in the farther suburbs of Chicago. lift stations too and we did work running water lines out at Silver Springs State Park. He did work in Indiana as well all Chicagoland Area. Originally I was hired as a painter Indoor and Outdoor. Plus I had to paint to whatever city code had going for waterlines and gas lines etc etc. After about 6 months he then asked if I wanted to make some more money. Which I said yeah. I was like making 15 dollars an hour back then. So I was like hell yeah. He was a Union Company too. But he had made a small holding company which was not union. So I started laboring for him. So I built forms, laid iron, did all the bending of rebar, and of course shoveled the $#@!. Learned how to put in sidewalks, make pads that some see generators sitting on outside along highways and in shopping malls parking lots.

    Course coming into the field I was low man on the totem-pole. For like 10months I had to play gopher for those Union Guys. As they had to take breaks and lunch etc etc. Myself, I was the type that like to get the job done and not be dicking around. Plus all of them be checking one out when one first starts to see if they know what they are doing or some type of screw up that wont be lasting long. I be working and almost done with my $#@! and would be like hey I am out..... laters. Which I could get away with if I was like painting during the winter. Come construction-time, and digging-time. Not ever.

    Then these guys no matter what you was doing. 9-9:30am Union break. Yo, MMC go get coffee and some donuts or danishes. MMC<<<<<alright, hold on I am almost done with this $#@! over here give me about 10 mins. Union Guys, ahhh $#@! that $#@!.....go and get some coffee and those donuts. MMC<<<<I said hold on I Ill get it. Union guys, walk over start handing me their money, yeah and grab me this and get that. Hurry up......concrete will be coming. Cuz once the ice cream arrives there is no dicking around. once they are done pouring thats when the Foreman and the carpenters could chill out if they didnt have anything else going. Which most of the time they dont. General shows up and all are there kicking it. Sometimes drinking beers if the General was cool with it. With him drinking too. End of the day type $#@!.

    We get to kickback and chill when the finisher arrives. They tried to get me into that as I was a light guy and not somebody heavy. I didnt want to do it it all. Get out there on those foam pads and the troughs. Some of these sites were huge and let me tell you, one best not screw up on the concrete. Cuz aint much one can do once the $#@! hardens. Not to mention having the boss all up into your azz or some BA.

    2 of the 3 years I worked for him we were able to work in the winter. As we would get buildings up and then save floors and concrete foundations for the winter and pour indoors. I hated that $#@!. Wheelbarrow time.

    But to this day.....I miss that job and those people. All good guys. Hard working and for everything they got. not to mention when the work is done. Something was made. Something was left behind. Something all can look back on and see the work of their efforts. The job was great 6am to 2:30 pm and your 8 was in anything after was overtime. Most of the time except summer with big jobs, off for Sat and Sun. Home by no later than 6pm during the week. Slow Time Home by 4-4:40pm. The good Ole days.

    Most being contractors they get in and get their work done. But all were Union. Electricans, plumbers, and heavy Equipment operators. I tell you once we had got some new kid that was an apprentice carpenter and a couple kid laborers. I was tired of that running $#@!. Because it was for anything and any of the guys who all knew each other and their familes.

    I was like yeah, my turn to send somebody for some $#@!.

    Oh and like I said thats when I was pretty much done with Coke or pop. Wish I could say the same for coffee. One other thing, after being out of the field for several years I was successfully able to revert back to holding conversations without saying the F-Word 15 times in a paragraph and drop most of the profanity.
