I would not hold your breath for a reply from the owner. My wife used to work there among many unhappy people. You have probably given the staff a much needed laugh. She nearly went crazy there.

I've worked for private companies, Crown corporations (i.e. in Canada, government-owned companies) and government agencies and there is no discernable difference between them if they all do a good job. However, when they put cost cutting and profit above everything else, the result is a bad place to work - short term gain and long term failure. A good work environment is a good work environment regardless of who signs the cheque. Good work is good work regardless of who manages the process. Good management is good management regardless of who owns the business. Saying that private enterprise is good and government is bad is a ludicrous assertion that ignores reality.

Today's great news, if you've missed it, is that a living Ivory-Billed Woodpecker has been found in the wilds of Eastern Arkansas, and it was a kayaker who initially spotted it! One story is at http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0429/p01s03-ussc.html, and if you search on 'kayaker' at Google News, and then click 'sort by date, it'll pull up other stories. NPR's All Things Considered today had a very good segment, too, that cuts to the dilemma now: celebrating the existence of a mythic bird while desperately hoping that the find does not lead to more harm to the bird. Already some crazy birder has posted directions to the general area, but it's remote and requires a boat. The bird is also to be featured Friday a.m. on Morning Edition. A previous NPR segment was haunting in its tribute. I think that may be the story from March 2002 story linked to the following page, but my too-slow home connection can't verify it. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4622633 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

>Good management is good >management regardless of who owns the business. Saying that private >enterprise is good and government is bad is a ludicrous assertion >that ignores reality. Agreed. However, subsidizing corporate profits with tax dollars, and data which is taxpayer property is *ALWAYS* bad, regardless of outcome. The senator who is proposing this bill is one of the same people who scream "free enterprise" the loudest when it benefits him to do so. Can't have it both ways!

Yet, I keep opening them, hoping ... Yes Dave I think we can. I work for a discount airline based out of FL. I made inquiries with our General Counsel who made inquiries in Washington. The Honorable Mr. Santorum has no co-sponsor of this bill and this bill was considered something of a wild card play on his part. It was given a less than 2% chance of passing. Brgds, Jeffrey T.
