   Read more of his posts.  While nadacomin is not exactly optimistic, he   
   is more realistic than pessimistic.

   Maybe you should have more respect for most people?  He doesn't need   
   to be officer of the month for me to respect him,; he just needs to do   
   the job.

   Does he?  Does someone who is realistic and frank about their feelings   
   and attitudes make us look worse than somebody who constantly tows the   
   party line despite any disagreements or frustratiions he might have?   
      
   Well, maybe he does.  But I'll take somebody who is honest and real   
   any day over someone who hides who and what they are.  Which is not to   
   imply that you are not being honest and real in your own   
   self-expressions, as I am hardly in any position to judge that.

   You are confusing the real world and the usenet world.  Nadacomin   
   posts anonymously for this reason.

   No apparently about it. Law enforcement people are people too, and we   
   have just as many black sheep among us as there are black sheep in the   
   real world.  Stewie and dummydog will be more than happy to provide   
   you with some examples if you keep following this group.   
      
   Just out of curiousity, how long have you been working with an inmate   
   population?
