He gets it.  Seriously, if I didn't have my wife and child, and an aversion to firearms.  The assholes have addresses.  I'm surprised that one of the people who have been fucked over, who has had a loved one die because the greedy health insurance company CEO needed another G5, or who lost everything when the CEO of the bank that foreclosed on their home needed another billion or so on paper that they couldn't possibly spend, but needed the self-aggrandizement.  Definitely when.

self-aggrandizement.

Good article. I forget which one of you guys posted that on Facebook, but I read it. Interesting read.

Also: Self-aggrandizing reminds me of Lacerda coming through in two-zero-zero-two (http://www.gotthegeek.com/lacerda/lacerda.mp3).

Heh.  The MP3s of those are still in my collection that I have in Google Play Music (http://music.google.com) and come up regularly in instant mixes.
