We here in Michigan are not 'ganians, but 'ganders
Quote: "I suspect I speak for many Michiganians when I ask..."
If the author cannot properly call us Michiganders, then he certainly is not one of us. As such, he should not try to speak for us either.
I am a proud Michigander, not a "Michiganian" (sic).
Don't ever call me that again.
Otherwise, yes, I agree. To veto a bill simply because one's name is not on it is absurd. If it works, it should pass. Michigan passed the point of ego stroking long ago. Those who still need their ego stroked should be shunted aside so some real work can get done.
JDL:
I stand corrected, because I double-checked. Michigander is the noun; Michiganian the adjective. That said, have never claimed to be "one of us." Was born in Ohio, but was not -- repeat, not -- raised a Buckeye fan. Some things are just too horrible to contemplate.

'If your degree is worth so much ... compete globally like everyone else'
Chris_D, because of your obviously self superior attitude toward others, I would not hire you. I doubt very many employers would; knowing you would alienate much of their workforce and disrupt corporate synergy. The fact is, an engineer or any other specialist is as much a dime a dozen as any electrician. Their only safety is in immigration laws - government intervention. If you think your degree is worth so much, then why don't you want to compete globally like everyone else?
