Imagine this. Full time employees who spend 4 hours a day discussing issues with each other and their supervisor, 2 hours having lunch and the final 1 hours of the day filling out paper work about what they spend the last 8 hours doing!Imagine every year tripling your workforce with untrained temporary summer laborers.

These laborers go work in groups with no supervision.They use brush cutters with metal blades to trim around monuments,gauging deep cuts into the granite or knocking pieces off of the edges.

Maybe they are totally incompetent and while sending txt messages on their cell phones forget what they are doing and drive headlong into a monument or cannon.This is not just the raw seasonal workers guilty here !

Now back to supervision,the problems with supervision at the Chickamauga Battlefield are profound. You have people who serve in high grade supervisory positions who do not know the location of landmarks in the park itself. Supervision with this organization consists of sitting in an office and assigning blame. Blame usually falls on the people who are trying against all odds to do their job because they arent visible to the boss,the guys running around doing nothing but running their mouths and gossiping look busy. The guy thats in the woods cutting timber off of a trail or washing a monument is just out in the woods hiding or goofing off. And if your not assigning blame you may be in a meeting with your employee's,a 2-4 hour meeting wherein you discuss why trucks used for working in the woods and hauling heavy equipment are scratched or dented, and then another hour assigning blame for the damage. And what other job have you heard of where your bosses boss comes in, and in front of the whole crew dresses him down? Hard for your boss to maintain discipline in that situation isnt it ? Anytime you do something wrong just say "(insert boss's name) didnt tell me to do it, or "told me to do it that way"

And hey,speaking of equipment. How productive is it to go through 1 or 2 name brand chain saws or weedeaters a summer because your employees are incapable of mixing the proper 1:50 ratio of fuel and oil ? And then you've got the guys who, when its close to quitting time grab one of the park ATVs and race around on them through the back trails and woodlots . "How'd the gator get that dent", "I dunno"

The lowest paid maintenance man at Chickamauga by the way gets nearly 16 bucks an hour, and you pay for this goat rodeo every year on april 15

The problem isnt lack of money, its lack of ability, lack of supervision of professionalism and a lack of standards. You can throw more money at the problem but its just going to result in more expensive problems. It would be like giving monkeys extra manure. We all know what they are going to do with it.

I dont want to damn all the employees, there is alot of really good dedicated guys who work hard and honest and do a good job. But theres alot who aint.

There are moral laws that transcend the current laws of the land, or the laws of mankind. In Saudi Arabia its legal for 40 year old men to marry 12 year old girls. Im not going to argue with the law, but merely ask the question. Is that morally right ?

Even though the law of the land cannot call Tiller a murderer can he not be labeled such under moral law ? He takes human life. Whats the difference between abortion and murdering a new born baby in its hospital bed ? What is the difference ? Killing a baby is killing a baby,whether you want to call it murder or not. Merriam Webster defines killing as "depriving of life" . Tiller deprived innocent children of life, he was a killer.

Dare I say it ? Theres probably alot of newborn babies who are safer now that he's gone.

Just as I dont agree with Tiller killing babies, neither do I agree with Tiller's murderer killing Tiller. Morality is morality and you cant justify or explain away a moral evil. You cant commit a wrong to commit a right, and its never right to do wrong.

Why does the left rabidly defend abortion anyway ? Why cant you people admit its killing and we all need to do something to begin limiting it and ending it all together ? Its a holocaust and a black stain on our Nation and culture. Abortion is to our society what slavery was to 19th century America. The differance is ,back then even slaveholders realised the moral problems associated with keeping slaves. Today few people have the moral fortitude to call abortion what it is.Its Killing,its wanton and brutal slaughter.

Liberalism is a religion, and abortion is its sacrament .

What about the 60,000 babies this cold hearted killer murdered in his life time ? 60,000 defenseless babies,weeks from birth and life and all the wonderful things that go along with it. Maybe the cure for cancer, maybe the cure for aids, maybe an efficient energy source. Who knows what potential Tiller slaughtered.

Tiller sowed the wind and reaped the whirl wind. His killer isnt the only murderer in this equation.

Abortion of any kind is murder. If you dont want a baby, keep your legs together. Its the responsible thing.
