The high:

Today is the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian
genius whose work epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal and whose
Last Supper (1495-98) and Mona Lisa (1503-06) are widely influential
paintings. Born in 1452.

The low:

On this day in 1955, Roy Croc opened the first McDonald's franchise
in Des Plaines, Illinois, and in that same year started the
McDonald's Corporation.

:)
I believe it was Ray Croc. First store was about 2 miles from my
childhood home.
If McDonald's was unionized Harry would be gushing about it.

Can you imagine the increased apathy of the workers at McDonald's if it
was unionized?

Maybe as bad as a bunch of pseudo marines?

I find your comments about BAR's service to our Country with the USMC
offensive Don and ask that you drop it.

I find his comments about hard working union members offensive. Ask him to
'drop it' and I'll consider same.

There are those? More than a minority?

You would not be retired with a pension if it wasn't for unions,
dumbass.
Unions are a thing of the past. The only job where unions have firm
control is teachers unions and this is where we don't need guaranteed
lifetime employment. Everywhere else unions are dying off.

Not relevant to what I posted. A lot of things people take for
granted, like weekends off, paid vacations, sick time, getting paid
for all hours you work, and pensions are all the result of Unions.

You owe them a hugh debt of gratitude along with your criticisms.

That is your opinion.
