Speaking of Unions... does anyone think Amtrac has been
enhanced by that Union! No wonder they are broke. Same story with the teacher's union. Monies goes into a dark
hole, trains don't run, kids don't learn.

It will be interesting to see if business can demand efficient shipping or if that Union will keep the docks locked in the age of the industrial revolution. Ooops, there's that word, why can't we have a union (read, anti-socialist) revolution? It's "On the Waterfront in the 21st Century."
