Oil deposits are fairly normal. I used to work in a place were I regularly had to clean keyboards and you would be suprised at how dirty some of these things could get. On the plus side, key boards clean up pretty easily with windex, or soapy water.
hmm, why yes I did! Thank you for being so observant. Thank is excatly what I wanted to get across.
now don't take this to far, just becuase I don't give a damn doesn't mean that I am going to go out of my way to hurt you. In fact that would be wrong.
tell me though, why should I give a damn about people that don't enrich me personally? Keep in mind that by responding to this you enrich me with your knowledge/thoughts.
Capitalism: because It Treats People Well.
No, becuase it is morally right. I don't give a damn for the people, just as I don't expect you to give a damn for me. I am not your brother, lover, or any other - except competitor
Oh please! The beginning of the end?!?!
Capitalism is the problem?!
Greed is the problem?!
Get a grip. IBM, like any other company that is worth its stock, is in business to make money. It has nothing to do with greed. They are not in business for your (the employee) profit, wellbeing or the health of your children. They are making money first for themselves then for thier shareholders. They invest money into you in the form of benefits (health or otherwise) in order to keep you, thier investment, productive. Want the company to work for the employee?, then get yourself some stock options.
Remember, capitalism created your job. Now globalization will take it. Yes this sucks. And yes I know macroeconomics is hardly comforting when you are in a cardboard box. But it is reality and you will have to deal with it.
And now you say "but what do we do?, the rich are going to beat the middleclass into the mindless submission from which it was created!" well, you have a few options.
1. become rich, there are still millions of people in the world that are just begging for a job. remember money is created not found. money represents people's work, the days of the gold standard are gone
2. wait a few years. what WILL america do with 500,000 college educated people? We are not like the unskilled steel workers or the sugar cane farmers or any other example. Never has there been mass unemployment of of educated people.

What we need is a motto like, "It starts with YOU"... except maybe not so cheesy
