# Small space heaters.
# Space® "All Weather" blankets. (Find the ones with olive drab, tan or
camo on one side.)
# Space® "Emergency" blankets. (These are much smaller, easy to keep.)
# (Basics: Again, think small and light weight. Be SURE to put items
that might even possibly leak into
a few zip-lock bags! ie. toothpaste, shampoo...)

John and his ilk are simple-minded konservatives, cannot think
abstractly, and see issues only in black or white terms. John is an
especially pathetic konservative, as he spent most of his adult life as
a federal employee sucking on the taxpayers' teat, and now works as a
teacher in the public school system, thus continuing his sucking on the
taxpayers' teat. You would think a konservative like John would disdain
a paycheck from the taxpayers. But that would require him to be able to
think in the abstract, and such thinking is not allowed those in the
military.

Sort of like a person who spends his life working for a union as a PR flack.
Taking big money from the working people. Sucking at the teat of political

Naw, Harry's just coming down in his usual fashion on the military and
teachers. Neither, in his opinion, are worthy occupations. And,
because of his high degree of integrity (remember the lobster boat),
one must give his opinion its due. Thus my response to Harry.

Don't forget how caring Harry is of his fellow humans....like getting a kick
out of crushing a mans legs with his car and making snide remarks concerning
my wife medical condition.

What a man old Harry is.

I saw a lot of this second hand (I finally resorted to setting up filters). I
feel very bad about your wife's medical condition and hope and pray that she
will be okay and that you both will be able to go boating together. I saw the
post you were referring to secondhand, and could not believe me eyes that
someone could be that cold and callous towards another person!

Au contraire...I believe teaching to be among the most honorable
professions, and always have. But you're not a teacher, John...you are a
babysitter.

Thanks Butch. And although Don White and I have shared some punches he was
also a true gentleman in offering my wife the best of luck with her
condition. It really is appreciated.

More bull**** from you, John? I have the greatest respect for public
school teachers, who work long hours under difficult conditions for, at
best, ordinary pay and benefits. You're not a real teacher; you're a
substitute teacher who has admitted more than once that on many of your
assignments, you don't teach at all, or even try to teach. You do
nothing more than babysit. You obviously missed the irony in my post;
the insult was aimed at you, not the teaching profession. You are a
self-proclaimed conservative and yet, for your living most of your life,
you have drawn your pay from the taxpayers, and thumbed your nose at
your job responsibilities.

If I lived in your town and were a whining slimeball like you, I'd
complain about you in a way that matters. But I'm not pondscum like you
are, and I'd never ever try to cause anyone job problems because of
their newsgroup political statements or leanings.

You're just living (barely) proof of how low your end of the political
spectrum has sunk.


Harry, I've said nothing in any of my posts of which I am ashamed. I
would not be upset if any of my posts were forwarded to the school
system for which I work.

You, on the other hand, make statements such as, "...works as a
teacher in the public school system, thus continuing his sucking on
the taxpayers' teat," and then state you have the greatest respect for
teachers. You state the latter only when put on the spot.

Your statement would be offensive to any teacher working in any public
school. Given your position, this attitude seems to be detrimental to
public school teachers. Why should it not be forwarded to the two
major teachers' union groups?

This attitude of mine has nothing to do with your political leanings.
It has to do with your denigration of a profession. You seem to think
that the calling of names and the denigration of an individual's
profession, or of an individual himself, are appropriate. I disagree,
and I think the AFT and NEA would feel likewise.

Slimeball? Pondscum? Simple minded? Teat suckers? Yes Harry, you are
great at calling names.
