Sedohr, Just curious, but have you ever won an argument without the threat of violence?
Who staffs those LOCAL National Guard units?.....You THINK that the same guy that bowls, hunts, drinks, shoots pool, fishes, and watches our kids play sports with me is going to run a tank into my house? It depends on what you interpret as violence. Is getting into someone else mind, violence? Physical violence the majority of time heals. But, getting into someone mind does take longer to heal and is more lasting. Your psyhi follows you where ever you go. Having bargained over 200 contracts, I never settled a final contract based on rationale, but a perception of pain avoidance by either of the parties. I have even seen individuals crying at the bargaining table do: (1) to physical exhaustion, (2) potential lost of wages and benefits, (3) pressure from outside forces (community power brokers, (4) parents inconvenienced, (5) sport programs being disrupted or cancelled,etc. Pressure (real or imaginary) is normally which drives the settlements between the parties. |
