Nice to see you making up a definition.

google define:entreprenaur

The first definition is found at
www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/starting/glossary.html
and is typical.

"Innovator. One who recognizes opportunities and
organizes resources to take advantage of the opportunity."

That's *not* an employee.

Of course, if you're merely trying to convince yourself
that you're an entreprenaur while working for someone
else.....

Sam Walton wasn't working for someone else.

Google "John Menard."

Retail still has opportunities not available in
things like manufacturing. Perhaps restaurants,
which are a form of retailing, do too.

There really is something that looks a lot like appeasing. Closing the
Prince Sultan Airbase in 2003 sort of quacks like appeasement of the
extremists.

The extremists I think we really need to stop appeasing are the Religious
Right and the Republicans who they are currently leading around by the nose.
Tomorrow's our chance.

That's why they keep donkeys so they can dry, and burn the manure.

Perhaps you're talking about the people who have and
maintain taditional American values. You know, the
folks who made America great in the first place!
The America that has been handed to you on a silver
platter, in fact.

I'm happy to appease them forever. Their ideology has
withstood the test of time, while yours keeps failing
only to be recycled by the next generation.
