Obama Saw First Corporate Job as "Working For The Enemy"

Actually, California produces twice as much agricultural output as the next highest state... But the notion that success is defined exclusively by agricultural output is bizarre to say the least.

I didn't say 'california', I san San Fran, as that is what you were talking about. Nor did I say it was 'exclusively' due to that. Just pointing out what people measure as success often differs... aka - your comment about liberals in san fran being the most successful is just your point of view. Quit trying to move the goal posts.

Fair enough. Sure, there are many ways to measure success. Regardless, San Francisco liberals sit at the top of the charts for an awful lot of those measures. BornFree assumes to be thinking that being called a San Francisco liberal is an insult. I find that ignorant as all get out.

I'm betting most of those measures have to do with wealth and status. All things that I don't count as success in life.

No. For example, San Francisco leads the nations in graduate degrees per capita. It has one of the very highest IQs per capita. It has restaurants second only to New York. Museums. It is absolutely beautiful. It really is a great city.

of course.

but you'd just be demonstrating that you have no real grasp of what communism is.

Sorry, IMO no big city is great. Ever. You want beautiful, head to where people aren't. Up in the mountains, now that's great.

Actually, I have a BroInLaw that lives out there, he visited here just a few weeks ago, and want's to move to the awesome place big time...

Have you ever worked in the corporate world Bronson? If so, were you like "gosh I just really love being a part of this thriving capitalist marketplace!" all the time...

I don't think so. Especially not in entry level positions. It's dull, pointless, work. Nobody is excited about like fighting for one pharmaceutical company to get a slightly better rate on the purchase of some software or nagging people to fill out their weekly hour logs or whatever boring nonsense. People do it because it pays, not because they love it. They gripe about it. Working in the corporate world isn't like working at a locally owned hardware store or something. Nobody loves the company they work for in the corporate world. You're working for a soul sucking machine. Everybody feels that way and everybody says it. That isn't a liberal/conservative thing, that's just life in the corporate world. It pays better than working for small, likeable, human, businesses for a reason.

I know how it is. I've worked not only corporate jobs but temporary ones so there's no benefits. sucks.

Can you imagine if we were all judged by the things we wrote at the age of 22?

Everyone on this board would be screwed.

Probably, but then again nobody on this board is running for president :roll:

To the extent that the question is whether what someone said at 22 defines them as a person twenty some years later, I don't see that as an important distinction.
