Why Wang went under is a tough call. They were at the head of Electronics back in the 70s-80s. Maybe they should have gotten Govt contracts as Rythion did to build defense tech stuff. Digital's mistake was not building the personal pc, instead of the business ones that they were so good at.

You tell me Union membership has been so low for how long? What 15% at its high, over 3 decades ago? Corporations can't pay a living wage here or over seas. But if you do have week ends or any other benefit, you BETTER someday thank our Union Movement of over the last 100 plus years. Unions had to fight like hell for those weekends off.

Can you read the graph?

I would have had weekends off or any other benefit without a union. You see, I don't take a job and then demand stuff from my employer they never promised. If I apply for a job and they tell me I have to work 7 days a week, I say thank you very much, but I am declining your offer. Simple as that. I walk out. You know what? There are 100 other people dying to sign me. Why is that you suppose? Because I worked hard and increased my value. I didn't cry and protest looking for someone to artificially inflate my value. I know what I am worth and therefore I will always have weekends off with lots of benefits.

Oh big shit you are. Unions 50 years ago or more fought for our weekends. Study your history. Without the Union movement we would still be working 6-7 days a week with no benefits at all.

Go throw your tea in some other harbor. I like Ron Paul just fine, but its you morons who will lose him 2012.

I'll throw the tea right here in MY harbor.

You just spout it out over and over.. Like when you OWS type chant. It sounds like some kind of whacky Christian cult. The more you say it, the more false it is. There is nothing funnier than watching one of you stand up with a speech and the rest recite it like they are in church or something. Poor brainwashed bastards..

We both may want to serve mankind, its just that I'm not trying to serve it as food, as your kind wants to.

Nice non-response. Other than protest, what have YOU done to help mankind?

12,000 online connections is a start at helping to wake up the comfortably numb. Many are very good friends, of which we follow each other. I ran against Ted and Mitt in 1994. But the hell with that crap. Would rather be bigger than the Prez and more popular than The Beatles. Someday, revealing that Rock and Roll is the Pearls of Thunder kept secret in Revelations 10, will pay off better than money for all of Mankind. We know that there are a lot of tough nuts to crack.

I'll walk away from this thread with an Arlo quote on Unions, ''Since our founders tried prefect a more perfect Union, you can not be anti-union and pro-American. Period.''

This makes about as much sense opening a lemonade stand on the moon..

Oh, Rock and Roll are the Pearls (as I call them) of Thunder kept secret in Revelations 10. Someday that truth is going to pay off... As was said, there are some tough nuts to crack. What didn't you understand about the start part?

I forgot, we are supposed to know how you define all these idiotic terms like MEDIA-RIGHT-STORM and other stuff you make up. Seriously? You should re-read the stuff you write before you click post, and read it out loud, because I would say a good 60% of it makes no sense. I don't mean they are wrong ideas, they just don't make sense.

Rock and Roll are the Peals of Thunder that were kept secret in Revelation 10, who in our days have been revealing the mystery of god, as is said in Revelations 10. Ya, for those aware of what a Brotherhood of man kind is all about, it will seem like in a blink of a mind's eyes, when the dreams of the 60s are fulfilled, by us learning how to share all of the world.

MEDIA-RIGHT-STORM. Many have clearly seen how that is comparison to meteors flying out of the sky, to the stone throwing that the Religious Right got in high gear in the 80s, out of the Media. Where we come from, back in the 80s, we all use to mind our own business, but in 94, it was clear as day whose fruits had changed all of that.

This arlonet, we don't always have to make sense, that's why we come here.

Umm ok..

Oh did you ask what I have done to serve mankind, or what I was doing to serve mankind? Told you a paragraph of what I've been doing. No one has yet accomplished all that they have set out to do. But I figured just doing what was right, for it being the right thing thing to do, if it helped one person it was worth it. So it helps out every day.
