[sldev] Working Together

[Dzonatas]

You are right.

After people get to know me pretty well, they pretty much claim that I 
have a right to be mad about the situation I am in with this life. Many 
won't easily accept to see it this way, but there is literally a war 
going on here with family law. I think it is worse than the Iraq war; 
especially, when it used to be that soldiers would get home from Iraq 
and immediately get prisoned for arrears accrued while away on duty. 
They past a law to not prison soldiers, but that doesn't help the 
non-military here at home in America (very unfair now and the problem is 
covered up more).

It is that reason that with this problem of family law that creates 
disgrace and dishonor at home. I've heard it said many times "oh, there 
must be a problem with them," but as the evidence shows clearly with the 
innocent soldiers above -- even they got put behind bars without any 
trace of a bad mark on their record.

It would be wrong to stay completely silent about these issues, 
especially when they effect even lesser affairs like this.

I'm glad I have archived this entire mail-list. It shows clearly how 
there are jobs that I can do, but I'm just not getting hired to do them 
and other are. They child support lawyers and legislative judges argue 
that I'm am clearly worth the money they nailed me down at for child 
support. If they want to put me in jail for it, then I have evidence 
that they will have to battle against first to show that it is possible 
for me to make that money they claim I can make, which they charge 
impossible (greater than 10% exponential) interest upon. Given my track 
record of work with the Feds, it is not a low amount they wager I'm worth.

You see, my argument was and still is never directly at Linden Labs. I 
just needed the real-world evidence on a attempt to get a job in a 
position with criteria that I'm over 90% qualified to do. I'd kick 
myself in the ass many times for not trying.

If you think I made this ugly, than I beg to differ because what has 
been done to my family (and other families) is very sick. It needs more 
public attention with the war here at home.

Many companies fail to work together with those that have child support 
issues, and that only makes it worse. Companies need to realize that 
they need to take a stand with family value rather than the eccentric 
greed of the business.
