This seriously sums up what i think. I wish Congress would grow some... nerves?... and do what's right instead of what's safe. If I recall correctly, lots of Members lost their jobs after Medicare and Social Security were passed, but can anyone really say it wasn't worth it?

I thought the whole concept of work in the public service is that you're working for something that's bigger than yourself. I thought that a functioning and just society was more important than what particular people are working for it. A position in the government isn't supposed to be a cushy job (which is why people are clamoring to work for $25k in a very expensive city). It isn't supposed to be an easy job (which is why those $25k jobs are some 60 hrs/week).

Hey, Senators? The Greater Good must be more important than where you'll park your car next January. Otherwise, you're there for your own self-interest. And that completely undermines the whole point of what our system is built on. Doesn't it?

Motorcycles

Dreamed last night that I had bought a Ducati motorcycle for either $300 or $600... it also may have been a prize at an arcade. My parents were pissed about it but came around remarkably fast. The bike was sunshine yellow and was pretty sweet - especially for 10% of retail!

Not sure what it all means... nor do I know exactly why I've blogged about it. Hello, blog, I'm Greg; we met maybe one time before. Perhaps I'll see you again sometime?

“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

Ok, funny story - I went to start this blog and apparently I already had. In 2006. Whereupon I promptly forgot about it.

Anyways, yeah. I'm blogging now, I guess.
