BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

some-firms-struggle-to-hire-despite-high-unemployment: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

some-firms-struggle-to-hire-despite-high-unemployment: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance: "Some workers agree that unemployment benefits make them less likely to take whatever job comes along, particularly when those jobs don't pay much. Michael Hatchell, a 52-year-old mechanic in Lumberton, N.C., says he turned down more than a dozen offers during the 59 weeks he was unemployed, because they didn't pay more than the $450 a week he was collecting in benefits. One auto-parts store, he says, offered him $7.75 an hour, which amounts to only $310 a week for 40 hours.
'I was not going to put myself in a situation where I was making that small of a wage,' says Mr. Hatchell. He has since found a better-paying job at a different auto-parts dealer."



WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WRONG HIM WORKING FORTY HOURS A WEEK FOR $310 WHILE GETTING  A  GOVERNMENT CHECK FOR $140....
UP TILL FINDING A JOB PAYING MORE THAN $450?



I'M ALLOWED TO HIT HIM....

RIGHT?


COLORBLIND?

Sure hope MR. HATCHELL be WHITE.

We about the same, suppose we be a fighting.  Don't say I blame him.  Would suppose done the same not seen it coming neither. Reckon this be a fair fight. 

Sure hope MR. HATCHELL be WHITE.
 
We about the same, suppose language bit colorful.  Don't say I blame him. Would suppose done the same not seen it coming neither.  Reckon this be a fair fight.
