The Drudge Report breaks self-fulfilling prophecy:

Washington: if you're going to try to pick my pocket with one hand while trying to wipe my nose with the other, I suggest you use only the fingers you aren't particularly fond of.

Finger(s)... Wow, you really know how to take it; like a girl I once knew...
Pffft, people will just drink MORE, gamble MORE, consume MORE drugs illegal or legal, eat MORE...
Our coping skills suck as a society.
Makes me glad that I majored in Computer Science. At least I have skill that makes products and provides services. Most managers act like they have a certain "je ne sais quoi" about them, that really becomes an honest answer of "je ne sais quoi" when someone starts asking what value they bring the company.
The concept-strategy behind MBAs is weak, in my opinion, and companies would be better served promoting from the ranks and grooming them for management with in-house education. I have a feeling that je ne sais quoi will translate to "field labor" in the future.
Our average ability to handle hardship does leave something to be desired, WW. We're soft, whiny slobs begging for a bucket of cold water, and we're gonna get it, good and hard.
