    I worked in the analysis tool division of a company that built civilian and military jets when I was fresh out of engineering school.

    I didn’t feel too bad about it because I was making commercial aircraft quieter and more efficient with my work. Then, the Iraq war started up and they told me I had to work on the engine for the F22. I started looking for a new job that day.

    Now I work in planetary defense and don’t feel guilty about it…


  • Good for you.

    The fact that I’m in a district that is among the most rural in the US and I’m still a “wannabe” tells me that there aren’t many places left like where you are in the country. Don’t act like you have any significant numbers when you describe people who live like you. You’re not representative.

    Either that or your exaggerating. Which I’ve noticed people around me doing a lot. Hell, you might not live that far away based on what you described. You talk about where you live like my neighbors do.
