Why Sarah Palin Could Be a Great Boss to Work For
"Hi Jeff. I'll give ya points for most of your arguments, except the good points of working for a bad boss - there are none (I've been there, and I stand by my statement - whatever hypothetical 'goodness' comes of it isn't worth the hell they've put me through - in this case, 'theory' loses out to experience).

Home values often plummeted so low it wasn't worth paying off. I don't know if this was a factor elsewhere in the world. I've always felt suicide was an option open only to unattached people - certainly they must have no children who need them, and no spouse to miss them. As a single man, I know the devastation losing a job causes psychologically (having experienced it too many times). There was a blog some months ago that said it's actually worse psychologically to get a bad job than to remain jobless (a while longer). There was a lot of research to back it up, and it did make sense. Duncan"
