    Hey ehizzy3, what happened to the insulting post that came in my email but doesn't seem to be here anymore? Did you realize you were proving my point about right wingers resorting to insults when the facts are on the table? I can prove my own point without your help, thank you though.

    You forgot to add "smug prick" to your list of Stanford thing(s) to do.

    Didn't one of the union guys beat the crap out of a "right-winger", and didn't the "right-wingers" have their tent torn down by a bunch of white union dudes just like you?

    Looks like blazerboy has taken over my old role!

    Gonzaga looks freaking good this year, by the way.

    It's how you spend each day of your life, which ain't worth a plug nickle when you die.

    No, they didn't. In fact, no one has EVER been beaten up by a 'dude just like me' because I would never use violence. Nice stereotype you got there. I don't even know what you're talking about. Provide a link, or did you just make it up.

    That video has nothing to do with 99% of the people in the background. I suppose he thinks that means all marines are bad because of Oswald and all Presidents are bad because of Bush. And what does race have to do with this? We also have no information about the situation. Why does the video start there? Where is the beginning? What kind of provocations were being hurled around? That one guy in the leather jacket looked absolutely thrilled to be punched, like Code Pink being arrested. I suspect he was looking for trouble from the beginning. See, we can all speculate about motives.

    I'm good with unions. It's a Natural Right that we have the right to freely associate with those we choose. There's no law that should be lawful to prohibit people from banding together and bargaining collectively. It is what Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale did one year with the dodgers ("we're a package deal"). I'm perfectly fine with getting together to protest, to go on strike, and so on.

    Where I draw the line is when a union would force me to associate with it, where the workplace is a democracy and 50%+1 votes forces the remainder to join the union, the taking of dues from people who don't want to be part of the union, and that sort of thing.

    lmao are you fucking serious?

    I asked what high school you went to, but then realized from your other posts that you weren't the same Mike Hummell that I went to school with. So I edited it since it was pointless.

    Stay on your high horse though bro

    Um, aren't you the one who used the "right-winger" label to stereotype? Sorry if you didn't get my obvious jab at you for your own stereotyping.

    Union goons like that guy who beat up the "right-winger" are a major part of America's collapsed manufacturing segment, and how unions are viewed by the public.

    I'm using stereotypes? You think race has something to do with this comment thread. And you use phrases like 'Union goons'. Thanks for the irony.

    You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I adamantly disagree with the latter part of your statement.
