19. Is there an imaginary person claiming that that is ALL that must be done?
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 05:34 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
Really, I mean this with no disrespect.

There is MUCH to be done but I KNOW that during the 90's when my state's labor rights were under attack, the right was HANDILY passing RIGHT TO WORK laws which are JUST as responsible for quality of life issues as any federal laws are.

People were seduced via television advertising into bankrupting and diluting union powers which generated PARITY in wages...even non union industries had to pay decent wages to compete with UNION houses prior to this time.

What I see are people with an UNREALISTIC expectation that that which DECLINED over 30 years should self-correct instantaneously.

Many of those people were doing NOTHING in the 90's.

I am NOT among that population..


I'm glad everyone is getting on board..but rather than picking up their jacks and complaining that the world will not devote itself to making them happy (ala George Bernard Shaw) they should continue to fight down every available avenue...they didn't get or win the right to claim the WHite House....go for what you CAN win but don't expect it to reverse it's ugly course in a McMinute.
