    Thinking of flying to Sydney in August

    What's your level of happiness in your current job?

    Really like my job, and the people that I work with, but I don't like the company I work for (we were acquired 2 years ago). Sometimes I want to leave, and totally change careers, but I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up :(

    Lets face it. US democracy is broken

    I am commenting on the OP's enlightenment to the fact that the Rs and Ds have "ruined" democracy And, no, I did not mean for that quote to be taken in defense of filibuster, but as a reminder that democracy is not the treasured jewel that so many make it out to be. I am disgusted equally...

    Lets face it. US democracy is broken

    exactly. This isn't supposed to be a democracy. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -Ben Franklin

    Has anyone ever been in Detroit Metro Airport (DTW)?

    the northwest terminal is awesome, and you can actually forget that you are just outside of detroit when you are there. the other terminal will easily remind you that you are just outside of detriot. If you are in the nice terminal, get a burger at Max and Ermas!!!
