Reply #49: RE:"Personally I have a certain degree of shame from what I saw"

Sadly, the atrocities of the past are still fading ever so gradually. The present administration with all its antics has given rise to a new brazenness among the ignorant that epitomize all that is an embarrassment to those who live in the south. I find it abhorrent that the people I encounter on a daily basis mindlessly parrot the things that are programmed into them on the nightly news and pepper their programming with the cultural leanings that have me fearful of them gathering en masse to lynch me. I suppose I should let the cat out of the bag and say that this weighed heavily on my mind as I was reading your post and I recalled the gaggle I work with referring to the poor, black, displaced evacuees from Katrina and Rita in terms that were less than kind. Having been poor, black, and displaced at various times in my life, their words made me shiver. That is the reason I am actively seeking employment elsewhere and filing grievances with my current employer under Sarbanes-Oxley.

I would love getting a post with the French outfit, Alcatel.
