Thurmond, a truly legendary bigot. A quote - "I want to tell you that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the Negro race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into out homes, and into our churches" Santorum, who once compared homosexuality to having sex with dogs. Rehnquist, who stated publically that he thinks segregation in schools should be reinstated. Given the choice, I'll take the boring peanut farmer.

quade 4 #25 November 21, 2004 You said, "Unions are a government sanctioned and enforced monopoly." I refer you to Ronald Reagan when he fired the Air Traffic Controllers and put a pissing contest over the safety and security of the flying public. That was a union that was -busted- by the government. Ever since that point in time, businesses have been enboldened to do that same and many have, so, I maintain that the pendulum has swung far the other way and now protects businesses far more than collective barganing agreements. I further maintain that without the unions we'd never have the "40 hour work week" or the "8 hour day". Without the advent of the unions the average person's working conditions would be atrocious. Having lived and worked variously as a non-union worker, union worker and contract comittee member as well as management and representing my department in labor negotiations, I can confidently say my standard of living, take home pay, benefits, job security . . . all of the fruits of labor where much better and more abundant when I was in the union and especially in the days when the unions were stronger. I have absolutely no idea how the Republicans sold the majority of the country on the concept that "unions are bad", but they have and the average Joe and Jane blue collar worker has been totally screwed over and their jobs shipped over seas because of it. Companies are not your friends. They are there to make maximum profit off your labor or even worse -- without it. They fight tooth and nail against paying the hardest working people that do the most disgusting jobs in society the minumum wage. They'd pay even less if they could . . . but it's against the law. And that doesn't even stop all of them.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
