The Draft

[graymatter]

Do you even read these draft threads?

Not really, I do glance at the posts where people write they're afraid Bush will reinstate the draft... They actually have nothing to fear about Bush supporting the draft: He has 1) The Bomb and 2) You and Torog to clean up the mess...

I'm sure this is in a previous post someplace, but I'll ask it here anyway because it's easier. What sort of work do you do, Gray?

Not really... haven't posted that level of detail... but I'm in business consulting (legitimate, sanctioned, that is). I help Republicans all day where it matters to them most :dance:

!!LOL!!

I'm afraid I do, too. I'm an executive speechwriter and general all-purpose executive communications and marketing consultant for a huge, global technology company that's based here in Texas. The gentlemen into whose mouths I put words vote Republican, which I can sorta understand considering their tax brackets.

and, hey, IAM, I've had a long day at work and plan on smoking some MJ... it helps me think about ways to annoy everyone. :thumbsup:

That's odd, I've had a long day smoking meds and plan on getting some work done.

There will be no draft...

What sort of work do you do, Iam? If you don't mind sharing, that is. If it's already been posted, forgive me in advance. I've not seen it.

Nice, always wanted to get to Austin. Is it true you can actually drive a Volvo with Vermont license plates and a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker through Austin and live to tell about it?

[birdgirl73]

Not Austin, Dallas. The company I work for is now based in Plano, a wealthy suburb north of Dallas.

Democrats are welcome in Austin. I wish I worked for Dell and lived in Austin. Actually, no I don't. Michael Dell is said to be rather tough on his execs and direct support professionals, at least according to one of his speechwriters I've talked to before. He sometimes still votes with the Ds, I understand. His wife went to school with a friend of mine, and she shared that not so long ago.

I guess you'd say that I'm an entrepreneur. Self-employed computer guru, investor, inventor, artist, etc. I'm working on starting a mmj non-profit and thinking about starting a biodiesel production facility and/or a think tank too.

That sounds like a wonderfully wide-ranging bunch of vocations/avocations. I'm especially interested in the art part. Do you paint or do fine arts? Or more computer-related art?

[iamapatient]

Some fine art, almost nothing on the computer. A little oil and water paint, a little sculpture (clay but I want to try stone someday),a little photography, wood, metal, plastics, haiku, etc...I even played with FX makeup for a while, I was once published for a short story (fiction) I wrote. and I used to be a body piercer. Maybe glass/ceramics one day too. I guess I'm the "idea guy..." *shrug*
