So let me get this straight, when my son was 3 he was bitten by a bamboo snake (can be lethal to children) and lay dying in a hospital emergency room and I was due to catch a flight to Tokyo for business and you're saying I should have left him there and gone - actually that's exactly how 'the company' reacted, so I guess i now know there are more people in the world who think like that:-( Your son/daughter/wife is involved in a car accident and may die but you're going to stay and teach a couple of Bulgarian kids English - the net effect of giving them an early mark and sending them home being absolutely zilch on what career they take up, who they marry and how many kids they have. Richmond, I had mistakenly concluded from another post of yours re 'looking past the facade of race, sex, ......' that you had some morale fibre. But alas what it appears you were expressing is, once you've sold your soul to the almighty dollar, everyone is equal in the eyes of the Devil. Sad. Bob Cratchit PS Give me a company with heart, soul and human frailty any day. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
