Re: What is your boiling point?
Everyone is three missed meals away from armed revolt.
That's a universal truth, other than that, almost anything is bearable. This rhetoric about prying a gun from your cold dead hands is BS. When such laws get passed, law abiding people turn in their weapons, only the criminals keep them, and they can be dealt with one at a time. (That's what SWAT teams are for). But go a day without food, and you'll be ready to do whatever is necessary.

Re: What is your boiling point?
From my university grad-study days, we all had very low opinions of MBA programs and their academic integrity.
As my uncle says (a VP at American Express), "we need a VP just to manage MBA egos". |
