    That's even funnier because I read it while listening to Aretha Franklin.

    The job I respect the least is sports agents. I don't like making broad generalizations, but I would be shocked to find a sports agent that isn't greedy.

    i 'respect' all work to some degree, but i respect even more someone who sleeps under a bridge when they feel doing so is the only way they can avoid perpetuating the causes of causing harm.

    there are of course many occupations the whole context of which is either extremely harmful and or brings about little if anything else other then harm.

    this is why i have such low reguard for capitolism and corporate capitolism especialy as it's automatic built in concern is only the persuit of little green pieces of paper reguardless of any other bennifit or harm.

    of course that doesn't mean it can only cause harm nor does it (ONLY cause harm) but it does skew essential infrastructures away from the services it is their whole purpose to provide, nor are its effects on quality reliably either way or the other, nor does it (or for that matter most other idiologies) take into account the dependence of all species, including our own, upon the well being of our natural environment, nor the mental consiquences of the surroundings of our experiential environment.

    the list of occupations for which i would 'have the least respect' is therefor rather a long one. far too long for me to attempt to prioritise in my current state of only partial wakefulness

    most professional athletes, tobacco company workers, slaughter house workers. The Repo people. The current position holder of PRESIDENT of the U.S!

    I surprisingly respect telemarketers the most, cuz i know most of them are just students trying to make good cash, and have no where else to go. I was one, and it killed me. Worst job i've ever had.

    Your blame on the ‘isms’ seems a little unfair themnax.



    It [being capitalism or corporate or not] can’t justifiably be blamed. People must take the brunt of the blame. Just imagine how this world might work if people were, at heart, essentially good, honourable, and honest people.



    Your idea that the pursuit of the almighty takes jobs from the service and leaves real quality searching for a bridge seems to lay the blame in too shallow water. If we are going to go there we might as well get all the way out. Again, people and now including their jesus, a big brother, should take the brunt.



    One more thing, just out of curiosity. How do you justify the duty to my grandkids in keeping this place green? I can’t see it.
