discussing unions.

I had a long exchange with a liberal poster on another board who is VEHEMENTLY anti-union. No facts or figures to back up his warped opinions, just a bad personal experience.

Several others joined in, equally disdainful of organized labor.

They have no appreciation for the benefits they've received because of the courage of others. None. They're happy with their lot in life (as pitiful as it might be) and think everyone else should follow suit. "Unions cause inflation; It's no wonder jobs are going offshore, nobody can afford union scale; Union leaders are all crooks on a power trip; yadda yadda yadda."

It's enough to make me vomit.

When will the stupid people GO AWAY??? Arggggghhhh.
