Good luck!

Missed this one. Seattle. I decided to drive, by the way.

Cool. Amazon allows you to bring dogs to work. They have a dog park across the street.

Congrats!

Hell no! I'm actually excited, now that I'm moving out of the Philly area, I can wear Dallas clothes without fear of death. Sure, they're hated everywhere....but at least I won't have to fear physical harm like I do in Philly.

We'd get the animal rights nuts every now and then at the aquarium I used to work at. Such funny misguided hippies.

It must be nice to have so much time that you can spend days at a time just standing somewhere holding a stupid sign. Maybe if they did something truly constructive with their time, rather than just holding up a poorly-worded sign, they could really effect some change.

What, you don't have a few hours a day free, even besides work? I know I do. What the hell is wrong with you, anyway?

You know what's more annoying than a protester? The people who whine about protesters.

I don't think you understand. They're protesting a private company for the actions of the government which in no way involved said company. It would be like someone protesting the MLB because of the Michael Vick dogfighting scandal.

But they're not hurting anyone.

I understand what you're saying, and I think LM is a pretty cool company, but they DO build weapon systems. What else would a weapon system be used for, other than killing(either in self defence or for... other reasons)? Some of these people are probably just against killing.

For whatever reason, social activists are not bad people, and they're not even lazy people. They've probably got a logical reason for protesting the source of some of that killing technology.

LM modified the Aegis (defense :p) missile system to shoot down that rogue satellite.

Although technically I believe LM's missile venture is a mix with Northrup Grumman (under some combined name) and it's located in Florida (I think... don't pay that much attention)... not in PA :p.
