So you are saying we are draft animals because of the Yoke?

That is about how I feel half the time.

Its not rose colored glasses. It really is better on a life-altering scale than where many of us have been. You just don't realize it, because you haven't been trying to keep your nose above the surface of a river of fecal material for the last fifteen years. As bad as it was, and I understand it was quite bad, it was better than the best non-major gig.

I like that too. Reminds me of me when I couldn't get over the fact that I had finally gotten on a legacy seniority list.
