comments disapear into the archives

lame discords of yesterday's remarks

no connection, no line, no thread,

meaningless without bearing

course unknown

shall i attempt

to concoct a diatribe

meant for me alone

or attempt a discourse

targeted at a silent audience

choices seem to be liminted

and yet remain the same

blank  blank  blank

fill in the blank

don't tell me your name

put up a thread

its all the same

who is that again

in some remote local

doing the same

as the rest of us

with the trumpet of glory

pretending something's different

when its all the same

i repeat myself

when its all the same

i've got characters left

to give away

who's a taker

who's a giver

who's sane

vote for obama

or realize the blame.

fool's chance...293 to go...

And I mean, not only the end of DFA, but in a larger sense, the end of the labor movement in the USA.

I was reading on another of my blogs about Wal-Mart in Canada, getting another judgment against them for interfering with labor organizing at a store. After the first judgment, a few years ago, they closed the store.

What was interesting to me, is that that blog is not sorted for politics, and the general belief of the Americans (though NOT the Canadians) who expressed a view was that labor/unions were basically evil entities, or totally useless.

This is not my view: I grew up Democrat in a right to work state, and have always rooted for Unions. Mother Jones is a saint of the first water in my book. . . . Flip side, during my five years as a union member, I felt strongly that the union did not protect *me* -- it protected the lazy and incompetent. . . .

But the attitude here towards the users is vile. And if that *is* the attitude that the new organizers exhibit as they go about their bidness, they are NOT going to have a future. . . .
