I'm not sure that we completely...Amigo Roland,<br /><br />I'm not sure that we completely disagree on unions, except historically. I believe there was a time that organizing labor unions was a necessary thing. I also believe that much like government, they forgotten or abandoned their original mission and have mutated into yet another bloated self-perpetuating bureaucracy.<br /><br />I have to admit that you have me on the 'free lunch' comment however, and agree that it is a beautiful thing that two people can disagree on the method of achieving a common goal and remain friends while participating in healthy debate on the subject.Timothy W Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17118861693269565715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041089218060371051.post-30015925742159806022010-09-04T20:56:27.343-04:002010-09-04T20:56:27.343-04:00Amigo Tim,

And after all, we do desire the same goals, just different views on how to get there. <br /><br />Take care amigo and enjoy your well-earned Labor Day.Roland Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510269002146276854noreply@blogger.com
