Journal Roblimo's Journal: We Must Undo Unions' Damage to Save America! 1
Unions not only destroyed many once-proud American businesses, but also promulgated such evils as a 40 hour workweek (remember that?), health and safety regulations on the job that have saved many workersâ(TM) lives, paid vacations, and the now-discredited idea of defined-benefit pensions, plus a particular horror this country used to value called âoejob security.â
And letâ(TM)s not forget that pesky minimum wage.
We need to finish rolling back all the damage unions have done to the U.S. so we can compete with China and India. American workers have been spoiled by having things like indoor plumbing, electricity, telephones, and cable TV. Once we get them to roll back their living standards to the dirt-floor hut level common in the countries that are now eating our economic lunch, we will return America to its former state of greatness, where millionaires had hordes of servants (which we need because of the stress our fortunes cause) and children started working at age 8 instead of lollygagging around in schools all day.
Another institution we may want to consider bringing back is slavery â" except that weâ(TM)re more racially enlightened now that we were in the 18th and 19th centuries, so we wonâ(TM)t deny this opportunity for lifetime employment to non-black people but will extend it to all.
Never forget: America is a Christian nation, and slavery is mentioned in the Bible but unions are not.
God bless America!

Robin, that's great! If he weren't still alive, I'd say you'd channeled Don Novello.
Unfortunately, you present a satirical view, not 1 degree in deviation from the real position of the US and its masters.
I follow with interest, your changing opinions and observations - and I admire you. Not so many folks are adaptable and continue learning through life. I hope I am able to change with new input and situations, as well as you have.
