Friend gave me this...sure makes me want to check the facts...I wouldn't doubt it's validity though...kinda makes me go Hmmmm...Bushy quote:What a Company
Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more
than 500 employees and has the following statistics:
29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year
Can you guess which organization this is?
It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.
The same group of idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws
each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Urban Legend. But why bother to check the facts when you can just admit you haven't and cut and paste it anyway. As a wise, old philosopher once said:

I sometimes use a quote because possibly that person sums up my feelings better than I could myself...as opposed to some who feel that no one but themselves could possibly compose such striking prose that the rest of us will be suitably impressed...I don't feel the overwhelming desire to impress anyone...I grew out of that a long time ago...

...and DWS...who kicked over your rock?
Yes, and the statement above is so representative of the ethic you so proudly claim in your quote. Pathetic.

Yep...common and proud...decent towards others and proud of it...
A pathetic hypocrite.
DWS...Yep...common and proud...decent towards others...I try to not insult or ridicule...and proud of it...
An even more pathetic hypocrite. Keep editing; you'll soon absolve yourself of original sin.
