[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 482254, member: 11425"] That America has exploited individuals, both foreign and domestic, throughout history is our great shame. We must find a way to create sustainable wealth that does not exploit someone, or something (as in the environment) simply to fuel our conspicuous consumption culture. I simply find unionism to be the best defense that the average person has against possible exploitation by corporations that have grown so powerful that they are unassailable to the lone individual. Are unions perfect? No. But it is all a lot of us blue collar workers have to protect ourselves. And, to address the topic of this thread, if that is what white collar workers feel they need too, more power to them. Steve, thank you for the compliment! It is always fun to converse with others of a different viewpoint, even though realistically one rarely ever changes the opinion of your "opponent". I almost always learn something, even if it is only how to better defend my own arguments. And as to feeling like an ignorant school child, I feel that way when I reflect on how much I truly do not know. And unfortunately that happens to be more, infinitely more, than I care to admit!
