You invent a product. You hire people to make the product. You hire a company to sell the product.

The company hires people to sell the product.

People buy the product.

Money is made to create a new product.

Seems pretty "useful," to me.

Think of the thousands, or millions of families, who, without this cycle of creation/invention/buying/selling/buying, etc, would be without food, without a home...

Produce pushes us forward. It drives us. It keeps us going. It clothes us. It feeds us.

The telemarketer is just one link in a very long chain of events, with no real start, or end... a chain of events that is so important to our every-day lives, that it's nigh impossible to fathom, but is certainly no more useless than any other endeavour that you may set yourself upon.

If we're talking usefulness, what about retired people?...... I mean not all of them are helpful with babysitting the grandkids and Walmart greeters serve what purpose, exactly?

:bolt:

Like you just insulted me (and some others here)? I'm fat. I'm diabetic. Been a while since I was evaluated, but the last time my I.Q. was estimated above 120. That makes me unstoopid. And, since I quit smoking, by myself, got off the street and on my feet, by myself, I think I'm in possession of a fair amount of self discipline. If we're going by stereotypes here, go take your Viagra, drool on your man-made hard-on, and beat off 'til you have a heart attack. See you in the home.:mad2:

Wait. Did I post that? I meant to just think it... Yeah, that's it.

You should think out loud more often. :D
