    My people? Boring, middle aged engineers?

    @omooex, I wasn't attacking you and I've never criticized your spelling, especially since mine is usually less than stellar. But even if someone did, that isn't an attack on your intelligence, it's a comment on your spelling.

    I was answering a question you posed to me. I don't think that a 25 year old attorney should be ashamed of working for an automobile insurer. He was just making a comment about the negative reaction he gets.

    I daresay an ACLU attorney (who a majority on this board would "approve" of) gets the same shudder of disgust from a solid majority of people they meet. The ACLU's reputation has been attacked by the RW for so long it has tarnished their reputation, even if that's unfair.

    p.s. From what I'm reading, it appears to me that you are feeling ganged up on. You have to remember that GG has been attacked and vilified himself for his representation of a less than popular white supremist. I don't want to mention the name because it seems the nutjobs come out of the woodwork when his name is mentioned and possibly linked to.
