B.T.K. stands for Bush Takes Köntröl!

from Corrente:

Oh, gosh, that is a little over the top, isn't it? I've just got to learn to be more "responsible"... But not yet, Oh lord, not yet!

Anyhow, there are some interesting cultural points in the BTK saga, beyond the usual "Bobo's World" snark. First:

Dennis L. Rader -- a married father of two, a Cub Scout leader and an active member of a Lutheran Church -- was anything but a recluse.

At his church and around town, many expressed shock that Rader was accused of being the man responsible for at least 10 killings attributed to BTK -- a self-coined nickname that stands for "Bind, Torture, Kill."

"Disbelief, absolute disbelief," said a tearful Carole Nelson, a member of Christ Lutheran Church, where Rader was an usher and the president of the church council. "I never would have guessed in a million years."

"The guy that walked in here was not the face of evil," said Bob Smyser, an usher at the church.

(via CNN)

How innocent—To believe that evil would necessarily have any face other than an ordinary human one! As if life were a horror movie...

Definitely worth a read.

2. What was your job

what kind of education do you have?

3. Data Entry/Clerical

some college, no degree.

I worked for nearly three years with a company who was contracted to process Medicaid claims for the State of Texas.

When the contract came up for it's five-year renewal, another company so underbid the whole damn thing that they got it, and my company lost the contract.

We were all recruited to work for the new company, and given assuarnaces we would make the same or more than we did with the old company.

With the old company, I had been making ten bucks an hour.
The new company's average for data entry ended up being $7.00 an hour, and I was making $7.97 an hour!

When I complained, I was told...where;s it in writing...where's it in writing....prove we said any of that stuff, prove it prove it prove it. Well, after four months of fighting it, I finally walked out on their ass. And haven't had a decent job since.

It's been 10 months now.

4. Finish your degree n/t

[mermaid]

5. That's What I Am Going To Do

Moving back home as a loser to mommy in Pennsylvania, at the age of 34...so that I can work part-time and go back to school. I want to finish my Paralegal Certification. Then, maybe I will have a chance to go on to law school. THEN, maybe I will finally get a chance to make these corporate motherfuckers sorry they EVER ground me down this badly.
Because revenge will be mine!

I will not stop until I make every one of those bastards pay for what they have done to me and countless other Americans...I will not stop until they are no longer allowed to steal our futures and our hopes and dreams.

They are gonna be damn sorry they made an enemy of me, one of these days...so help me God if it is the last thing I ever do, I intend to make every one of the rat bastards pay DEARLY for what they have stolen from me and my countrymen!

6. Dude

you need to relax. Seriously.

[mermaid]

7. No

Dude-ette.
And what I need is some pure revenge.
Nothing else will satisfy.
They have beaten me down for the last time.
This time, they pay for it.

They will be sorry they EVER pushed me this far down. Because now I have NO CHOICE but to go back to school, and to get the degree, because I can't find work...and if they woulda just kept me working and happy, they might never have awakened what they have awakened.

Now i burn with a desire to obtain justice for all who have been sucked dry...had their lives, dreams, hopes, ambitions sucked out of them by the evil corporations...and I mean to exact payment from them. So help me God.

8. Please relax

you're starting to scare me. Get your degree. May be the best thing that ever happened. I've been there.:yourock:

[mermaid]

9. Sorry

if I am scaring you. but I have had it with just taking it and taking it and taking it and taking it. This time, I mean to get even. In any way I legally can. I've been brought as low as you can go now, and have nothing left to lose. So I don't care.

I'm just sick, weary, tired of the fight. I'm tired of having my guts kicked out and my teeth kicked in. I'm tired of having it happen time and again, and looking up saying "Thank you, massah, may I have another?"

No, this time, those who have made me suffer will pay.

Don't worry, I don't plan to do anything drastic. Nothing illegal. Nothing that will make the front page of the newspaper. Nothing like that.

but I have my shit-list now, of corporations that have done me wrong...and so help me...when I get my law degree, I will actively pursue cases that will enable me to nail those bastards to the wall for what they have done to me.

And then I will know I got my vengeance. And it will be sweet.

There are certain companies that I will even take cases pro-bono, if I have to, just for the satisfaction of going after them! i'm completely serious here. They will be sorry they ever screwed with me.

And this comes from one who has already successfully sued a major corporation over employment discrimination and WON, representing myself. I won on an administrative level, they appealed, I won again...they appealed again...and we settled. Five years it took, but I got mine out of them.

And I will do the same to all others who have hurt me. Revenge is all that is keeping me going now.

10. Go to law school

and be happy.
