Oh I agree we shouldnt trust the government especially since it basically works directly for the corperate intrest over that of the voting massess, since its the corperations who really put them in power. The Surpreme Court proved that quite blatently.

The only reason I brought up the racsim of the south was to point out how you had just quite unfairly tried to place the blame for the civil war soley on the shoulders of the north by implication.

Just as your trying to infairly place the blame for economic decay on the backs of the unions.

Speaking of which, the massess often had to resort to violence to get their points accross to their opressors who would often show up at picket lines with out of town hired thugs to beat the workers into submission.

Like I said earlier, all three factions in this have their problems, but if it were not for the workers being allowed to organize themselves we the people would have had no defence against our corperate plantation masters to begin with.

Not that it matters...they wont be around all that much longer, the government overseer corperate lackies will soon get rid of any protection the working class ever had...it has allready begun increasing its grip by going after the teachers, police and firemen, while letting the rich, get even richer....

...and the poor will become even poorer...until eventually the tree of liberty will once again need to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
