[quote]Rescue Me gets a lot of the station life right. [/quote] They took that part very seriously. It was their "mission", I think, and the over-the-top drama and ghost stories were just the excuses to tell the station life stuff. At least that's my take on the show as a whole. ...

[quote]Capitalism is based upon infinite growth.[/quote] Not necessarily. Certainly at the business unit level, there is a push to establish base, and scale up (potentially to infinity), but as an overall system, capitalism can survive/thrive on a stable population base. [quote]hence the open...
This is a classic case of a lifelong leftist, who played a "conservative" for a few years to pump "Republicans" like Romney and Graham, and then became, sort of, the poster child for near fatal TDS. Queen TDS might be a good moniker for her, if Joyless Reid, "Not bright" Sunny Hostin or that ugly...
