A sad but in a way sort of uplifting little story for you all
On Sat night I was at work (I did Computer Tech work for a large retail company which later on I'll name but I recently quit) and this guy approaches the counter to ask me a few questions about wireless networking and so forth.

Now this guy he is your stereotypical red state type complete with the southern accent (I mean no offense to southern du'ers but you guys what I mean here) he even says he is originally from Arkansas.

Well it turns out this guy is an aircraft mechanic. Or should I say WAS an aircraft mechanic.

He was recently laid off from the airbase (Yup Davis Monthan)

Truthfully specifics were not mentioned but we all know this poor fellow is no doubt a perfect example of what the bush crime family means when they jabber on about a stronger America ect.

Anyways, after helping the guy out as best I could with his questions I wished him luck and I really do hope he gets his job back or something works out for him.

Though it wasn't mentioned it's clear that this guy may be wondering if voting for the guy who promises that "no faggots will get married under his watch" was more important than voting for a guy who at least would work to ensure that essential workers for the military like this guy got to keep their jobs as opposed to being concerned with fat cats getting fatter.

There must be thousands more like this guy out there and that is why I think eventually the dark ages will come to an end. When you start to see change is when guys like this guy start to get bitten and start to realize just why there are people like us out there who say the things we say and do the things we do and basically rebel against those who call themselves the 'champions of morality'
