We can only hope and do our best to try to help people realize the power they can have through vigorous engagement with the issues. <br /><br />Hudak would be a good starting point for sending a clear message to the right that their snake oil has been exposed and rejected.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-44498759583658621472013-09-09T16:32:58.105-04:002013-09-09T16:32:58.105-04:00Any cop who needs a taser to handle an 80-year old...Any cop who needs a taser to handle an 80-year old woman deserves an immediate transfer to parking meter duty. He's certainly unfit to be a cop.<br /><br />As for that swine, Hudak, few of us today realize the critical role organized labour played in creating the broad-based and prosperous middle class of the postwar decades. It enabled a balancing of the power of labour and capital that curbed inequality and empowered progress in education, healthcare and our social safety net. Dismembering organized labour and thwarting collective bargaining are the instruments of those who would see democracy shunted aside, displaced by oligarchy.<br /><br />Yet if the public doesn't wake up and vocally denounce Hudak and those of his ilk they will eventually prevail.
