Power to the People. We should all be as brave as the workers of Wisconsin. They are like the Green Bay Packers. Tough. But how did they ever elect their governor? Maybe I should think about this. They elected a fellow who thought one way to fix the economy was to take away people's money--except for the police. Oh, that fellow doesn't want to mess with the police. He's like some Middle East potentate. Keep the guns on YOUR side. I've always had an ugly distrust of the police, but they could change my mind RIGHT NOW if they would side with the workers. Why don't they? Why wouldn't they? Because they are corrupt devils who like power and boot licking privilege? Nobody ever thought that state employees were overpaid until now. Suddenly working for the driver's license bureau is butter. Oh how they've had it made. You see the way they dress? The cars they drive? The double-wides they live in? Time to tax those mothers back to a standard ten foot trailer home. And teachers? I guess they will have to go back to selling drugs to kids to make a decent living. And when the economy turns around (if it does--those greed-hearted bastards have taken just about everything), you think people will be stampeding to get in front of a classroom?
But the country is pretty f'ed up right now. If you are living in a trailer and collecting welfare, you vote for Tea Party candidates because they are for old fashioned values like hating people who work hard in fields and factories doing work you won't do at sub-minimum wages.
It's good to see workers uniting. I'm wearing a shirt today that says "Wisconsin." The Greedheads ought to read the news. It is better to let sleeping dogs lie.
YAYYYY!

Sigh.
We'll see if they keep their backbones. Teachers too often wimp out. But I hope they don't. I hope this spreads across the land as a worker's revolt. It is time for them to WAKE UP and be a force.
