[Mr.Kimball]

It was "illegal" for African Americans to go sit and eat lunch. "Legal" ain't always the test. Justice is a higher concept than "law." Yeah, right, tell a guy with a mortgage and a couple of kids, "Hey, bud, you don't like it...take a walk." Don't play that, Kimball. Most Americans are strapped and trapped; the "golden handcuffs" and all that. It takes a rare individual to walk away from "the Dream" and examine some things, get to the point of "life does not consist in the abundance of material possessions." It is my opinion that, on the whole, workers need to be protected from "owners" much more than vice versa. I think history bears that out. Of course, "an honest day's work for an honest day's pay" does work both ways. An employee who shirks duties and doesn't do an "honest day's work" isn't pulling the weight of productivity.

Would you please stop using useless unrelated examples of the such in trying to debate a subject at hand. Reagan had the nation's security being held hostage by means of an illegal strike. There are` reasons why the Taft-Hartley law was inacted.You know full well of that.

Strapped and trapped? I'm one of those guys that have mortgages and 3 kids too. I also shoulder the entire burden of guaranteeing several million dollars of borrowed capital. Yet I'm willing to put it all on the line. I should have the right to hire anybody I want or deny anyone I want. It is not anyone's "right" that they hold my life's work hostage.


Workers be protected from what? There are laws that say that you cannot not pay someone for labor rendered . Is that what you are`referring to? That is their protection.

I am glad that you do realize the "honest days pay" analogy. Seeing that it in fact, does work both ways, is all that needs to be applied.
