ON PENSIONS, BUSINESSMEN, CABBAGES, AND KINGS.

in retrospect my guaranteed pension was the pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow.  the carrot at the end of the stick.  if it were not there, working with nitwit scientists, engineers, and secretarial skanks (in a new jersey defense dept. installation) would have been immeasureably more difficult than it was.
-"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings."

in addition if the govt. had paid the actual interest rate on the pension funds there would be no problems.  if in some states like .. umm .. new jersey the politicians had made their obligated contributions there would be no problem.

meanwhile, business men waiting for their next victim to step into their business web while watching fox news are feeling sorry for themselves imagining that they are working.  they're upset over these pensions as they balance their two sets of books waiting for their homestead rebates.  i have two words for them:  ---- ---.
