I endosre this thread going back on topic after this, but I just wanted to say thanks for the good words, Ya'll. I will keep an open mind about UE because I hadn't thought about it that way before. Fortunately, I doubt it will come to that, even though some types of jobs are hard to find around here, retail managment openings are abundant and I have a solid resume!
Okay now back to the Justice department misleading us about the Patriot Act!
