| Ummm.... as non-union workers, I really don't think we can strike. I don't understand what you mean about Bentonville controlling the air. Do you mean temperature control???? It has been this way for at least 10 years, so that is nothing new. What does Norma Rae have to do with it? And as for truth, justice and the American Way...... was that what Superman was fighting for???
Got a little couch potato?

Written by an Australian Dentist....and too good to delete....
To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
"An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region> than in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region> The only difference is that in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place> they are free to worship as each of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claimi ng to speak for the government and for God. <o:p></o:p>
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.
<o:p></o:p> The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Independence</st1:City></st1:place> , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
When <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> . Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.
The national symbol of <st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region> , The Statue of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Liberty</st1:City></st1:place> , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place> .
Some of them were working in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Twin</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Towers</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">World</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Trade</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did Gen eral Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. |

Sparkle I agree with you 100%, and with or without a union we can strike, but we would definately have to make that we all stood next to each other on this one, otherwise the company could easily send in other people from another store to fill inj. However if we stood up throughout the company they would have to give the workers what they deserve. Sadly, most are outraged, but don't have the courage to fight. Keep up the efforts though.  |
