Just because you can't conceive of a world in which someone does something for nothing, or does something without the fear of the consequences of non-action, does not mean people not like you do not exist.
This is on the right track. Sure the guy is a loser, but who appointed him? That's the guy who's really responsible for this. Senators have to be in it for the country, not for themselves, and it's the PM and those around him's job to figure out the difference between the two types of people. Of course I realize Cecil you will have trouble with this final point, as I'm sure you believe it is impossible for someone to be "in it for the country".

I want to have a rational discussion, I really do, but daradon is right. If the only thing your capable of is ridiculous hyperbole, drive bys and making it personal and about what a terrible person I am, what is the point?
For you this isn't about the Senator, it is about feeling morally superior to me because you'd sacrifice yourself for your country
, whereas I'd take a 38 year paid vacation if I had the opportunity.
Don't worry I'm sure your next point will be about how if it was WWII I'd be a draft dodger and you'd be winning medals for valor.
When you can avoid personal insults and character attacks, we can resume a discussion about who is to blame for this oversight that allows employees to take time off work at will. But for now feel free to resume your hilarious and pathetic holier than thou BS.
