If you don't want to put the minimum wager down, don't cry for a seat at the table. That's not an unfair proposition in the least.
Jesus Christ, when did Americans develop this notion that there was a way other than actually paying for the ticket to get into the show?

Yeah, God forbid we pay them. After all, all the teachers have done is put themselves on the front line out of a mere sense of dedication. We certainly shouldn't reward them for educating our children, or dealing with issues like teen pregnancy, drug use, gangs, etc.
I too, believe in capitalism. Unfortunately, it speaks ill of our society that it values what I do more than what the people who teach my children do. There is certainly more utility to me spending my days figuring out ways to save a multi-billion dollar company millions of dollars so it can pay huge dividends to its British owner than there is in teaching kids to read and write, to become contributing members of society, and all too often, how to stay alive.
Sebby, this post of yours is another SD classic.
