    Union affiliation wasn't the point.

    The point was how many you see standing, observing, supervising, and directing and how many you see actually doing work. All the road projects I've ever seen lead me to believe the ratio is always rather large...

    A good kid who doesn't waste his time with video games and useless crap. He'll be a good citizen. Probably be a tax payer and productive. Probably has an equally good kid for a girlfriend.

    Of course he could have a girl friend and be hanging out smoking dope and being useless, but, hey, you can't have it all.

    Since when? They are government union employees. IOW, they get nothing done on time or under budget.
