abolish Unions and go back to the old days where workers, including the OVERWHELMING number of GOOD workers, have no rights at all!

Return to child labor, women sexually harassed by employers, live in a company box, paid with company scrip, injuries on the job, 60+ hour work weeks, fired at will, no compensation & no protection.

I don't think you grasp how bad the problem really is. Teachers aren't allowed to strike. Do you know all your kids teachers? Might want to look into it if you have kids and this surprises you.

We help rabid dogs, mad dogs, by delivering mercy.

That was my first thought, mercy for this mad person.

Nothing less will calm her down.

vote. We don't stop citizens otherwise qualified to vote because we disagree with their political views. Untill she is deemed incompetent she should continue to be 'allowed' to vote.

Poor lady I actually pity her, my aunt is the same way. At one time very book smart, but now has a permanent scowl on her face from watching Foxnews like a junkie. At least she doesn't run around in public and say stuff like that...yet.
