Dear Group,

I have been tickled by the naivety of those participating in
the recent thread discussing labor unions.

To all of you, I say . . .

What a crock of hock! What a pile of crap! What a heap of
dung! What a sordid example of the blind leading the blind!

As is the case, more often than not on this pathetic ship of fools
called alt.sailing.asa, there is not one soul in the sorry lot of you
blighters who has even a basic grasp of the issue. Here, to help
set things aright, is a treatise which shall guide you along the
straight and narrow path to understanding.


LABOR UNION, EXTINCT THYSELF!


Over the millennia, many species have arisen. Some thrived; some
became extinct.

Among the reasons a species thrives is it adapts to fill a niche in
the environment. Among the reasons a species becomes extinct is it
fails to adapt to a niche in the environment. Labor unions can be
compared to an extinct species is that labor unions not only failed
to adapt but they actually destroyed the very niche they once filled.

There was a time, many years ago, when unions had a purpose,
which purpose was that union workers could speak with one strong
and organized voice instead of many weak and disparate voices.
Once upon a time, when workers were treated like slaves, there was
a niche for labor unions. Labor unions thrived because they filled
the niche. They wrestled with slave masters and turned slavery into
fair wage and benefits. Theirs was a noble undertaking.

As the years rolled by, labor unions deviated from their goal
of obtaining for workers fair wages and benefits to demanding
untenable wages and benefits. Untenable for companies who employ
union workers, that is. Labor unions became greedy and corrupt. A
self-serving bureaucracy grew like a large, festering carbuncle on
the backs of dues-paying union workers. Companies that produced
goods and services were overly burdened by having to carry union
workers as well as the carbuncle of a corrupt union bureaucracy.

The niche, once successfully filled by labor unions, was driven
out of existence by labor unions themselves. Selfish workers with
their liberal entitlement mentality did not know when to say "Enough
is enough!" They killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

Even unsuccessful animal species do not destroy their own niche.
Generally speaking, when a species becomes extinct it is because
the environment changes until its niche is unsuitable and it cannot
evolve fast enough to adapt to the changed conditions. Or, the
species might be driven out by another more adept at filling the
niche.

Union workers changed their environment and destroyed it by
causing profit-killing overhead for the companies forced to hire
the same. These companies, in order to make a profit, had to
increase the price of their goods and services. These companies
could no longer compete with companies at home and abroad that
are not encumbered by pernicious union overhead. Unions, by
their very nature, transform free enterprise into socialism and
history proves that socialism is a failed economic experiment.

In other words, union workers of today are more stupid than
the lowliest pond scum in that they have destroyed their own niche
via greed and corruption while pond scum continues to thrive, living
harmoniously in the niche it evolved to fill.

Labor unions drive jobs offshore, drive factories offshore, drive
products offshore and drive incentive offshore. They do this by
increasing the cost of production until it rises well above that of the
less greedy, non-union economies which are more adept at filling the
niche.

Hey, all you ignorant union workers who complain about outsourcing
- you made your bed, so lie in it. Down with labor unions and liberalism
of all kinds! I have spoken.

Respectfully,
Capt. Neal

Read on, good Capt, see what Bobsprit has done to his child!

Is Breastfeeding a Gateway Sin?

FREEHOLD, IOWA - Church authorities were prompted to make a public statement
against breastfeeding last Tuesday when it was found that a number of church
ladies had been breastfeeding their children well into adulthood. "Little
Randy is nearly 15-years old now," said church mother, Ida Jenkins. "I still
breastfeed the boy because I read in some secular magazine somewhere that
the nutritional benefits of breastfeeding never really end." It was found
that Mrs. Jenkins was nourishing young Randy 'round the clock by draining
her teat into sippy cup and packing it in his Veggie Tales lunchbox. "The
youngster was sharing it with other students," said Landover Baptist Junior
High School Principal, Gil Higglesworth. "I got suspicious after taking a
sip of it myself."

"What needs to happen here, is to just do away with breastfeeding
altogether," said Pastor Deacon Fred. "Poor young Christian boys are being
weaned into oral gratification from infancy and the whole thing just stinks
like the devil's hiney. "Our Baptist community comes from the school of
thought that when a young boy starts to get hair under his arms that is the
sign from God that he is becoming a man and it is time to stop nursing."
Pastor Deacon Fred explained that those days are long past, and the time has
come to end breastfeeding altogether.

Landover Baptist Creation Scientists then revealed the shocking results of a
4-year study that links breastfeeding to early sexual activity among
youngsters. "We found that many young people who engage in breastfeeding,
even if they stop at the age of 2 - oftentimes partake in what secular
humanists call, 'third-base sexual activity' before marriage," said Dr.
Jonathan Edwards. "Our study also concludes that breastfeeding leads to
sloppy kissing, drooling, teat fetishes, and cattle buggery." Creation
Scientists also expressed concern that the hardened nipples of a Christian
woman who is breastfeeding indicate a sinful state of sexual arousal.

Landover lady, Sister Taffy testified at 'The Fight To Stop Breastfeeding'
fundraising kickoff party. "I had Ezmirelda, my daughter Rebecca Grace's wet
nurse, wean her off the teat when she was old enough to walk to the fridge
and pour herself a glass of milk," she said. "Personally, the thought of
anything attaching itself to my body and sucking the Holy Ghost life force
out of me is revolting. The first thought that comes to mind are those old
colored women with their boobies hanging down to their knees. They don't get
those big sacks from eating all that watermelon. No, its from having 6-8 of
their children leached onto them until they are in their mid-twenties!
Glory!"

"In a world where toy manufacturers are slapping vaginas on Barbie Dolls and
convenience store owners think nothing of selling toy testicles and candy
suckers in the shape of male sex organs to young children, a Christian's
response must be to put on the full armor of God!" stated Pastor Deacon
Fred. "In these last days, the Devil will take many forms. Us True
Christians® are the only people who can see Satan in just about everything,
and it's our job to expose him, even if it makes us look ridiculous to the
unsaved public. It's just a shame that now have to take something as
innocent as nursing a young child and call it a sin. But Satan doesn't give
us a choice, folks. We are at war with unseen forces and principalities of
darkness who will stop at nothing until they drag every single person on the
face of this planet straight down to Hell. With this in mind, won't you
please join us in our fight to end breastfeeding? Your checkbooks are like
little tiny daggers you can throw into the devil's backside. Praise!"

Neal,

Bluntly; "You're full of ****!"

This is sent to you from a non-union person; ME. I was transferred to
the NW because of my feeling for a Non-union environment. We started and
ran a non-union Refinery. ARCO

You have to be out of your "Cotton Picking Mind" to think that the
Outsourcing of our Industry is happening to escape "Greed". It is being
driven by Greed. The mentality of "Higher Profits", that is the Greed.
If you can't see that, then you are one of those people "Blind because
you refuse to See!"

Be sure that you will see unions blossoming where this greed is taking
place. Management Greed is the seed of unionism. The is what they feed
on. As they feed and grow, corruption happens.

Thom,

Why isn't wanting higher pay considered greed? Unions are typically the
highest paid, with the most benefits. Are they the greediest?

Of a companies total operating budget profits may be 5-7%. Labor costs are
roughly 80%. When a company fails to make enough money in a year, profits
are cut, wages are not. Is this greed?

In reply; Asking higher wages in an economy that is rising is not greed.
GREED is when CEO's go from 1 million a year to 5 or 6 million. Pennies
an hour doesn't even approach the greed of the ownership and top
management.

What in all that's Holy can any individual justify a 8 million dollar a
year salary. Greed is to be the only reason

When profits go down, Workers, both union and non-union loss money or
their job. Upper management take their operation and set up outside our
borders BUT not their retail outlets. They want to sell to the better
paid people in this country, without having to pay the wages within that
market place.

That is what your Republic Government has made possible.

You must correct your Myopic Vision and look at the total picture. Don't
hide behind a alias and take things out of context

Thom,

Help me with my myopia. Apply what you have said to this case: Microsoft.
Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. He's the CEO of Microsoft.

1. Does a union exist at Microsoft?
2. How many employees of Microsoft have become millionaires thanks to
Microsoft?
3. How many layoffs has Microsoft had?
4. How many jobs have Microsoft moved offshore?
5. How many people have become millionaires owning Microsoft stock?
6. Point out 3 examples of greed at Microsoft.

Now, do the same for Google, Dell Computers, Lincoln Welding, Toyota USA.
The scenario you portray is only made possible by the existence of an
extortionist labor base, namely Unions. Unions are the child of the
Democratic Party.

Amen!

Bob Crantz

Despite their non-union philosophy, Microsoft plans to step up their
outsourcing efforts, leaving hundreds, perhaps thousands of non-union
American workers jobless within the next year. Microsoft still plans to sell
to Americans who've managed to keep a job, but would like low paid Indians
to replace spoiled non-union American workers.
