Hi ski,

This puppy has been sleeping a long time.

I'll start of the politics.

Just finished reading the book written by Scott Walker "Unintimidated".

It really shows the hatred unions have towards honest politicians that do not want to see corrupt unions wasting the taxpayers hard earned dollars.

Get rid of collective bargaining and let you local elected officials save huge sums of money by doing it the efficient way .

Unions have a purpose and for a very long time its benefit has morphed into corruption and waste while insisting that local municipalities require the forced collection of dues.

These dues then go to supporting politicians that pass laws that require wasteful spending.

Here in wisconsin with the elimination of collective bargaining - union participation has diminished greatly and the states deficit has gone to a surplus with no new taxes.

Walkers book is full of documented union waste that the state was forced to work within.

This trend will and is spreading across the country and was a major reason that many blue states have gone to Republican governors.

If you want your blood to boil about your tax dollars and how they are wasted - buy this book.

I'm not much of a reader beyond my financial interests but this book was very good and provides a wonderful vision of hope for our country!!

Bob
