here: Ineptocracy (in-ept-oc-ra-cy) System of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. Ineptocracy: simply stated, "Entitlement Mentality" as in the mediocrity that is sinking Europe.
AMBER ALERT! Someone has kidnapped Teatownclown and hacked his account. (or I missed his sarcasm sign)

LOL RA.... Oakland got too fired up last night. http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/03/us/occupy-demonstrators/index.html?hpt=hp_c1Want to bet that was the cops inside the movement? Nah...just a guess. Or, Lee Atwater's Children.....but the anarchists are the soft spot for the OWS 'movement'. The media, from whichever angle, will always show the most radical/violent imgages available. if bleeds, it leads....

When I was working on my bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, I actually wanted to pursue the aerospace option in mechanical engineering. There was a slow down then in the aerospace industry and aerospace engineers were driving taxis all over the country. I chose the general practitioner route of mechanical engineering. There were only a handful of elective courses within the engineering department involved in the difference.
Sidebar; There are only two types of engineers - Mechanical and Electrical. Everything else is a subset of one of those, except for Chemical. And I have a very strong suspicion that it is more a science than engineering. (And Electricals can do everything Mechanicals can do, but not vice-versa...LOL! Sorry, just had to throw that in...)

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Some electricals think they can do mechanical better than they actually can. The equations are all the same but when you change the names of the variables, perspective of what is realistic goes out the window.

Just a matter of practice... I started out pointed at Mechanical, then got turned to the 'dark side' about half way through. Still play with some mechanical stuff, but when I design something it is WAY overdone! Example; small trailer frame to hold about 7,500 lbs, when frame design was complete and built, turned out the design load is 48,000 lb (by calculation with 2.5 safety margin). Had it verified by good friend ME and he kind of laughed at me and said I overdid it. Yeah, I know... Too much is never enough! Oh, wait,...that's a different era...

Awesome! That's some good smile right there.
