That's a fantastic (and very powerful) thought. I will try to implement that into my life. Thank you.

My grandfather (died 6 months before I was born in 1978) was a spy. My mom and grandma told me that they apparently knew very little about him until after he died. He kept so much of his life a secret. They told me he would often get a call in teh middle of the night and then leave without saying anything for a month at a time. Turns out, he was running training missions in Indonesia or something.

My grandma said that they had a "Lucy and Ricky" type of relationship. The man orders the woman around and that was it. SHe never asked any questions, and any she did ask were not answered.

THIS IS THE GREATEST THREAD EVER. YOU WIN. FUCK.

Wow - did he answer like 5 questions and that's it? LAME.

People choose to work here. If they didn't like it that much, they would leave and try to find something better.

If they stay, they're agreeing to the working conditions. It's not you purchasing things that are causing people to stay working here.
