"Dude, it doesn't matter who you elect man or what party...they are all sleaze bags in this tricktatorship. Just remember this the next time there is an election and some other guy is touted as a savior" replied Ralph.

Chickenhawk Engineer

A person works in the engineering field who discusses and debates the best way method to perform a given task, but then consciously avoids doing the actual work themselves.

"It is quite amusing how Mark got so heated in the arguement about how to architect that widget but then the next day he avoids actually performing the very tasks that he was describing" said Frank.

Max replies, "That is because he is a Chickenhawk Engineer. He will always get in arguements about how to solve a problem, but never gets involved in the actual work of implementing the solution."
