All of us have been bigots at one point. Self righteousnes is unbecoming. Praise to a person who lasts 33 years of public service at one job. More praise to that person who must work among bigots, knowing full well a better situation is a dicey one at best. Bigotry will be with us until people realize their self-actualization comes from within, not from putting others down. oh come on! All of us have been bigots at one point.

This is just one agency in the entire Federal government that has been Chimpyized. All decent Federal employees have been replaced with good Bushies who are incompetent cronies. The goal is to systematically derail the Federal government and bend it to the will of the Neocon New World Order. They don't want you to <strong>have</strong><em> any civil rights.</em> This isn’t accidental at all. This is just one agency in the entire Federal government that has been Chimpyized.
