      Review: The last chapter, and a few tidbits throughout made this book worth reading. The rest of the book was hard to get through, and wasn't something I always agreed with. I think a Priest should read it, but there are probably better books out there to read first.

    • Lives of the Saints: From Mary and St. Francis of Assisi to John XXIII and Mother Teresa

      Review: While he had too many "political" comments in his writing, over all this book did it's job, which was to introduce us to many of the roughly three thousand Saints on the books of the Catholic Church. He also lays out, roughly, how one becomes a Saint in the Catholic Church. I like how at the end, he goes through a "chronological" review of the Saints as they lived, which tied them more closely to history, which was nice. Worth reading if you don't know much about the Saints of the Catholic Faith. Received a 4 out of 5 due to the politics...

      Review: A very enlightening book on the dogma and thought processes of the Roman Catholic Church. This is a must read for every Catholic person in the world, as well as every non-Catholic person of any religion! There is much in this book that I bet many "practicing" Catholics are not aware of. Please read, one and all!

Why??? April 18th, 2005

A company hires you at a rate of X, assigns you P&L responsibilty, and makes you in charge of a the division. Five weeks later you go to corporate HQ for training and the VERY first thing they tell you is that your position is now going away, you can decide between being a receptionist or a tech. And Oh, by the way, you are going to take a 36% pay cut.

1. WHY would they even hire you to begin with when they KNEW this was happening within the next three months?
2. How many do they expect to NOT leave with a 36% (on average) pay cut, and a major down grade of title and position? (There are 400 or so such people that are so effected.)

Would you stay if this was you? What are your thoughts on something like this happening?
