Unions = communionists They will all burn in hell!!!! I thought conservatives believed in property rights. *** *** quote *** *** "UAW International will no longer allow members of the 1st Battalion 24th Marines to park at Solidarity House if they are driving foreign cars or displaying pro-President Bush bumper stickers "While reservists certainly have the right to drive nonunion made vehicles and display bumper stickers touting the most anti-worker, anti-union president since the 1920s, that doesn't mean they have the right to park in a lot owned by the members of the UAW," the union said in a statement released Friday. " *** *** end quote *** *** Personally, I am not a fan of most unions and don't like their taking it out on military reservists, they own the place. They have every right to say who can park there. They can ban anybody they chose, including Marines driving foreign cars with pro-Bush bumper stickers, or left-handed banjo players with the middle initial 'M'. DSK |

If you're not willing to stand on your principles when it's inconveneient or even costly, then you don't have any. And standing on principle is one of the defining characteristics of a real conservative. DSK |

They can't ban Blacks, or Jews, or Indians, or Canadians, well OK, they can ban Canadians. SBV |

Actually, you can ban anybody you want from your own property, certainly including minorities... but if your private property includes something attractive to the public, you might have to endure them kicking up a fuss. ....I think bagpipe players would be on more lists than banjo players, but it might be a close call...

Oddly, I like the sound of bagpipes. Of course, I haven't had to listen to
them for more than a few minutes at a time. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "DSK" wrote in message .. .

Just noting that "conservatives" attacking it are being rather two-faced. I whole heartedly approve of property rights! Regardless of that, labor unions are still stupid. If you're not willing to stand on your principles when it's inconveneient or even costly, then you don't have any. What about standing on them when it matters regardless of the cost? Or even better, simply living them. And standing on principle is one of the defining characteristics of a real conservative. DSK Doug, there's no place in hell for you! Amen! Bob Crantz |

One should never confuse what can be done without violating the law with
what is right. That's a funny thing for a lawyer to say. Dave wrote: Not at all. There seems to be an unfortunate trend among many to say that if anything is morally wrong, there ought to be a law against it. The converse of that notion is that if there's no law against something it's morally right. Both are dodges of any responsibility to exercise moral judgment, consigning one's conscience to the custody of legislators and judges. Agreed. Attempts to legislate morality (either by omission or comission) is automatically doomed to failure, for one thing, and my personal tastes run more towards freedom than straight-jacketing all citizens according to the cultural whimsy of the current clique in power (whomever they may be). This is one of the reasons why I regard the U.S. Constitution as a work of genius. A lawyer is an expert in what the law allows, and to some extent what the law allows you to get away with. But a lawyer has no more expertise than his neighbor in assessing what is morally right. He can raise the question for a client, and perhaps help the client think it through. But he cannot answer it for the client. Sure. But not all lawyers think that way, unfortunately... nor do all accountants I'm reminded on a conversation I had recently with one of my partners, who is an orthodox Jew. He represented another orthodox client whose spouse was in arrears on child support. One of the remedies available was to have the delinquent spouse jailed for contempt for failing to pay. He told me that Jewish law prohibits a Jew from "ratting out" another Jew to be jailed by the civil authorities, and asked whether he should tell his client that this option was available. I told him he was ethically obligated under the canons of ethics to zealously represent the client, and that meant he had to tell the client the option was available. What else he told her, if anything, about the moral choice, was beyond the scope of the canons of ethics. To become the keeper of the client's conscience by withholding the option was entirely improper. An interesting dilemma. I assume he also told her that he could not pursue such action and would need to retain another lawyer. Your partner basically has to decide which set of rules has the higher priority... but it seems to me, that by telling the client that she had the option of putting the ex in jail, he certainly violated the spirit & intent if not the letter of the Judaic civil authority re/jail prohibition. I have read a bit about medical ethics situations that were altogether impossible... also read enough to have a low opinion of most "ethicists." DSK |

Doug, you think for yourself. That alone is a perceived threat to others.
That's why they wish you hell. Hell, if its full of independently minded souls, may not be such a bad place. Amen! Bob Crantz "DSK" wrote in message . ..
