Thank You. What is particularly upsetting to me, is that those who seek work, are expected not to take stands. Consider that I am - indirectly - related to Roger Sherman. On the back of the US $2.00 bill is John Trumbull's "Declaration of Independence". The original painting is in a very dimly lit room in the US Capitol building. Uncle Roger is fourth from the right, the tall guy with the tall forehead. All of the founding fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence risked their lives by doing so. This led to their having a handwriting contest; John Hancock got to sign first, because he had the boldest, clearest handwriting. While commonly regarded as tragic that soliders, sailors, aviators, policemen and firemen give their lives for what they believe in, I am commonly told that it is wrong for computer programmers to live their lives conscientiously, rather than by working towards their employer's next quarterly report.
