WOW - we are now being watched by the "ultimate" big brother - the " Catholic Health Initiatives", whoever they are.

So, here is the text I sent with the "profanity" removed:
" Whether you're "productive" or not, whatever that may mean, has had nothing to do with getting paid"

C'mon, Rob!  That is the crux of the matter!  What ever happened to the concept of an honest day's work begets an honest day's pay?  As to productivity whatever that means, well I suggest that it means whatever the boss says it means.  In our case - and in the case of most professions - we should (and should is the operative word here) be our own hardest bosses aka task masters.  Knowing you and guys like McSwain, Mattox and the vast majority on this list, that is a given, and we would work as hard as we could because we love what we do - and we have the moral integrity to make sure that we have earned every penny we didn't get paid.

Now, look at the rest of the labor force - yeah, the very same folks that we provide health care to - and tell me how many of those that demand and expect health care as a God given right have earned their paychecks, and have earned the right to the same quality care that you and I pay for.  Sorry to sound so damn cynical, but therein lay the basic problem that has rotted the infrastructure of our society as we know it today.  I am tired of looking at the elephant in the room and calling it a G*$-D@*$#!' mouse!

OK - fire away.
