Ruth Bader GinsburgA centerpiece for any kind of progressive social and economic program needs to be full employment with decent wages and working conditions. The reasons are starting with money. Does someone in your family have a job and, if so, how much does it pay? For the overwhelming majority of the world's population, how one answers these two questions determines, more than anything else, what one's living standard will be.

Chances are you don't have what it takes to walk the frozen trail. Stay home and relax.

From minor things like their headphone mix - and if a singer's singing, how they should hear themselves - to how to make people feel that they're getting exactly what they want. All those things, I think, are an advantage, especially the part about having done it myself. I'm not just an engineer who records the sounds well. I'm not afraid to take chances.

I mean we have them, but there is certainly not you know in strong force public philosophers anymore.

Vince NeilWe should probably start searching around a little earlier in our lives for what I call parallel activities, because most of us get entrenched in our careers. And, of necessity, we're earning a living, and it's taking our time, and we're building our rรฉsumรฉ, and we want our rรฉsumรฉ generally to be our proficiency within our field, because chances are we're going to be applying for another position within the field.
