I respect you guys views. Or at least, the views of some of you guys. And I would not disagree, if your observation is that wages and working conditions are not so deplorable that increasing unionism is imminent.

On the other hand......there is a school of thought that would warn of social trouble where the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" grows indefensibly large. Like where the middle class disappears.

And I will also assure you that, as much as you think teachers make six figures for sitting on their asses and whining all day......the education and health care industries are in flux. Those are dynamic industries because the wages and working conditions are out of equilibrium. No doubt about that. Ask any compensation analyst who has compared the work and requirements of those professions with similar requirements and work duties of other workers outside those industries.

And more importantly, the Court and the Board's protections of wealth and profits of the "haves" over the earnings and rights of the "have nots" very possibly could spur some interesting legislation. When Congress returns to its customary citizen-respect mode. Unfortunately for the ideology of some of you guys, this nation is, in fact, about people. Not profits. And it will eventually remember that. Dubya is helping.
