I'm glad you thought that..   B)

But I would be the great enemy of most 'modern' thinkers because
I also think everyone should be paid what they are worth whereas
many these days think everyone should be paid the same because
it's not their fault that they are lazy, dumb or slow...
(To be crude about it.)

These are the same 'thinkers' that don't think anyone should ever
fail a grade in school because, again, it's not fair to penalize
them for not being as smart as others, ignoring the possibility
that they are just lazy..   B)

I guess I got that attitude because almost every job I ever had,
even in Union places, I was often paid more than others around
me who had worked there longer because I could do / produce more
in the same working hours..

At least in cases like that you know you're doing well since
they are willing to go against the Union to pay you extra..
It's not all in your head..   B)
