This type of Simony is a Mortal Sin that no one in their right mind would commit. Surely Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich would never sacrifice his Immortal Democrat Soul for 30 pieces of Silver.

It was made by Naomi Klein and her partner.

Makes me think that this is an unspoken reason the gov is treating them so differently than the banks -- they see an excellent opportunity to wipe out another still-breathing US union -- it's like a holiday bonus for capital.mzzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526797522763512902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-30847088680979480562008-12-08T10:39:00.000-06:002008-12-08T10:39:00.000-06:00Seriously.

In fact it just makes me even madder to hear that sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately I think the type of action these workers are taking is about to become the norm. Folks are fed up, we can bail out companies yet where is the justice for the little person?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
