the union has in many occupations outlived its usefulness. originally formed to ensure that workers had a safe work environment and fair wages they have become thugs holding private enterprise by their short hairs and ensuring that more and more companies cannot compete internationally and will enventually die.
GM is the perfect example. The UAW not only has them up against a wall with the wages but the inability to lay off or fire workers will be the death of the company, any company
GM laid off 30,000 workers in the last four or five years, most of whom are still collecting a salary even though they are not working for the company. thanks to the union. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2008...-laid-workers/
I am sorry, but this industry will fail if they cannot hire and fire at a competitive rate.
allowing WI or GM or Chrysler or any other company to be held hostage by a union is just idiocy in this day and age.
Self control: The minds ability to override the body's urge to beat the living sh.. out of some ass.... who desperately deserves it.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

I won't "talk out of my ass," I'll talk from the perspective of experience as a former resident of WI (~17 of the past 23 years). Further, I won't parrot from national media fodder nor let emotional pro or con re: unions get in the way. I'll respond straight-up as a former tax-payer what reality in WI is like.
Where do you want to take this Deus? Do you know what your talking about from experience (i.e. have you ever been a resident of WI) or are you another outsider looking-in?
Answer that first, then we'll decide which way to take this.
- Classified as vermin or is there a bag limit?
- Is there a bounty?
- If so, to claim it do you need just the ears or the whole pelt?

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
