Kinda of scary--isn't it!

It's like with some of the more repressive UFCW Local unions like 588(Cool 770 and 1036.

People like Icaza, Hartwell and Loveall are like "Little Hitlers" that have crushed--democracy--and anyone that dares to challange their authority.

Funny how all roads lead to the same thing.

We're almost there and it ain't going to be long if we don't get on with the union reforming. The current oligarchy has fine-tuned their pitch to the authority-worshipping folks for several election cycles now for short-term corporate profit at any cost and with God's blessing.

Time's a-wasting...

I know people who lived through that. The used to run to shop when they got paid and bought anything they could get their hands on because the next day it was more expensive.

I have a neighbor who lived in Germany and was 10 years old when the third reich reigned. She talks about how after the end of WWII, people criticized her family for just being German. They simply assumed that since they lived in Germany, they accepted and backed Hitler's domination theories. But in essence, they were merely poor farmers who were caught in the middle of the nationalistic flurry of nazism.

I can't help but wonder if our children will one day have to endure world scrutiny and ridicule merely because they were born in the U.S.? How sad the people have to be painted the same color as the totalitarians who whip up social/political emotions to feed their nationalistic endeavors!
