I am a big fan of Jack London and find it remarkable that the words he spoke over a hundred years ago are still fresh and relevent today. It was London, the famed journalist, novelist and Socialist, who wrote "The laborer who gives more time or strength or skill for the same wage than another, or equal time or strength or skill for a less wage, is a scab." If you think you are that kind of laborer, and he describes your activities in an accurate way, you should acknowledge and embrace the historical title. Homosexuals have claimed the word "Queer" and now it has no power over them. They own it and it is theirs. when one acknowledges and accepts a word or title, it becomes theirs and loses power. I have claimed "Real Estate Poodle" and now the title is mine! Not sure which blog you’re talking about.

You know I don't wear panties. :) I am still waiting for a response to my question from Beau's blog. I'm ready to be civil if you are. We definitely disagree, but I think we can be agreeable. -Trevor Marlow,
