NO. I have <B>HUGE</B> problems with all of them, including this free trade crap which is bad for workers all over the world and bad for the environment.<BR/><BR/>I am a Wobbly because you're right, other unions are crap and that's why we refer to them as <I>corporate unions</I>. They don't care about workers. But we're becoming more visible and have had some great campaigns in the last few years. Our Starbucks campaign has been spreading like wildfire, and though I abhor Starbucks I am glad that we're making them stand up and take notice and that there are more and more unionised shops. Your problem with unions is not with the IWW. I propose you learn more about us and our rank and file (i.e. no hierarchial system) before you lump us in with the rest of them. <BR/><BR/>Again, just because I don't like the system and want to see it abolished doesn't mean I'm an idiot and I'm going to stick my head in the sand and pretend that it doesn't somehow affect me. She's great on women's rights. That means a lot to me. She's the only one advocating universal health care. That is government's job to me. She's the only one who's said to get rid of NCLB. That too means a lot to me. While there are plenty of things I don't like about her, she's better then the others. I'm not some naive starry eyed young'un who thinks that if we choose not to participate while fighting to change things that it will do any good. <BR/><BR/>So try and 'school' me all you like. But I'm a pragmatist and I'd rather have someone in office who will fight hard to ensure that we all get healthcare, because it's about damn time. And I've never lived in the 'burbs in my life, but sorry I'm not 'hardcore' enough for you since I refuse to drop out because none of these candidates is my ideal candidate. Face it, someone's going to be in the WH come January, and Hillary's the best of the bunch.lost clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751161198550585778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20186784.post-73443692772193473032008-04-23T11:22:00.000-07:002008-04-23T11:22:00.000-07:00But the unions have stopped being the advocates of...But the unions have stopped being the advocates of the working poor for quite some time. Seriously, You're a wobbly?<BR/>And while I'm at it, since you wanna thank Bill for so much, why don't you thank him for his bloody attempts at imperialism in Haiti?<BR/>How about the loss of labor jobs (the ones 'protected' by the "keep labor in the family" types while corps took the jobs elsewhere and he did nothing?<BR/>You're an anarcho-punk?<BR/>Thank him for the amount of prisons that he built for those who couldn't and can never get into labor in the first place.<BR/>You're a wobbly?<BR/>I'm not an Obama supporter because I know that he is but one of th three heads of this farce of an election-monster. He shares the same body with Hilary and McCain.<BR/>Do I need to 'school' you again on this, Wobbly-Anarcho-Punk?<BR/><BR/>I say this now at 41 y/o as I said this when I was 18 at a MDC show, "These new kids from the 'burbs are gonna fuck our shit up. They will kill our little sub-culture and it will never amount to shit.

So while I'm at it I'll support the person who pushes for universal health care and is pro-union.lost clownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751161198550585778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20186784.post-53513783234801341972008-04-23T10:27:00.000-07:002008-04-23T10:27:00.000-07:00Wobbly, anarcho-bike punk, huh?Wobbly, anarcho-bike punk, huh?brotherkomradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605518856041440108noreply@blogger.com
