Orr, I am not angry. Please understand that. If you're willing to sign your name on O&O, why not here as well? It's the same thing. I have. You'll gain a wealth of respect from me despite our disagreement. And to be fair the people you are arguing with here should do the same. I apologize for bringing your education into it. Since you ask, I do have a bachelors degree from Northland College in fisheries management if that matters. Nothing special no, not related to my shift work job at the mine, and yes it is a packsacker school. I only went there for the degree. It didn't turn me into a packsacker. I can find annoyances within that crowd as much as anyone. I'd be a huge hippocrit to offer total praise for them. But I just cannot understand how you think unions are no longer neccessary, as the mining companies are trying to dismantle the contract language that took years build. Are you a retired miner? If so, you have a lot at stake. Am I suppose to believe that companies will just give it to us out of pure kindness? Unions get bad eggs in them for sure, but that's why you have elections. Vote em out, or better yet, get elected and impose your will. Why this turned into a union argument I don't know. Maybe its my fault. I didn't intend for that, and was quite surprised it went there. But if I could give you some advice. When you argue, be polite. Don't name call. That's the only reason I called you out in the first place. If your goal is to change opinions, you'll get a lot farther that way. And if you think an opinion is simply irrelevant, just ignore it. Even if it's mine(no pun intended). If I thought your opinion was irrelevant, I wouldn't be arguing with you. As far as the beer goes, I'll buy you a non-union coors if you buy me a union grain belt.
