Well since this the humor column there is no point in getting too philisophical but i do see the point (as a concervative). I have all my life had a problem with unfair practices,so what,life is'nt fair but it does not you mean that you just bow your head + let yourself get fucked.Case in point. I'm open shop so have no use for the union guys who get paid triple what we do to do the same job.How they ever get the jobs looks like graft to me.Not to mention that these days in the HVAC industry the Vietnamese are our new wetbacks.And since they are a "minority" they get 1st dibs on the government contracts.Sometimes makes me want to throw a cucumber slice myself.
