[lbo-talk] Take that, IRS!

[shag carpet bomb]

i didnt' get the impression he was a software dev, but i was impatient 
reading the long rant. hard to feel sorry about a guy who had a chip on his 
shoulder forever, wants to make money off the military-industrial complex, 
and then doesn't want to pay the taxes that everyone else does to make the 
MIC his great cow teat in the sky. feh. he kept talking about engineering. 
the way he said "real engineering" made me think he wasn't doing software - 
since "real" engineers like to disparage software dev as an interloper on 
the older engineering fields.

i dislike those articles about the decline of skills in the u.s.. like 
Friedman running around bleating about the loss of jobs to India, etc. it's 
a silly scare-tactic and it buy right into the whole thing: "Omigod! 
Omigod! We are not gonna be number 1 anymore. Omigod! Omigod! The horror! 
The terror! Someone might be better than we are!"
