I sure would not want to go up against their unions if I valued my physical and personal health. and this is exactly why they need to be fought hard until they are completely disbanded. They are a gang of thugs who are no better than bloods and crips. This country can survive Obama. There's no way we can survive the unions.

You are conflating private sector unions with the parasites in the public sector.

"In some cases violence among some unions is acceptable." I call bullshit....lowering yourself to that level is never acceptable. "What would you do if the entire teachers and public employees including garbage workers go on strike."(?) Sleep like a baby, home school my kids and demand a decrease in taxes......with all due respect to the good folks left in Chicago, I'd never live there.....I can easily survive without Chicago, but they wouldn't last six months without my kind. P.S....I think you already know what you can do with your tiny, impotent, cravenly intimidation theme.

I'm not Don, and you didn't ask me, since I'm stupid and not in your class, but I'll take a shot at this, similar to what Don suggested. What would you do if the entire teachers and public employees including garbage workers go on strike. Thank you. That is an easy one. I would do the same thing Ronald Reagan did with the air traffic controllers. Tell them they have to be back on the job by Monday or they are fired. In today's Obama economy there are many people who would jump at those job based on what they pay today. Did you see the story about 37 replies to a Law firm for a job for $10k/year? In some cases violence among some unions is acceptable. I would say that the reverse scenario is much more likely these days, and against union thugs. Nobody is afraid of those pot bellied fat asses anymore. I could run one block, and leave them far behind, red faced and huffing and puffing.
