It's called politcal correctness, so your opinion of your words isn't relevant. They were intolerant.

I don't agree with your sentiment that the economy sucks we must all suffer. I'm tired of that tripe b.s. line from people and it rings hollow here at least to me. I will continue to expect the same service that I have come to know and vote with my dollars and feet. So please don't give me this 'you must lower your expectations because the economy sucks' routine. If I were running a business, and I do, I would think just the opposite: how can I delight my customers to help them realize how much I appreciate their business.

I know that there are no customers for government EE's so that may be a foreign concept.

At any rate, and I don't mean this personally, I don't mind hearing that government EE's are taking pay cuts.
