Pretty much on all counts. First, "the media" doesn't really seem to exist anymore, at least for me. I have podcasts, vodcasts, and rss feeds that I get most of my content from. That includes Anderson Cooper who has a great video podcast as well as blogs from people in Cairo. It makes "the media" concept kinda lost for me. As to unions, are they in single digit percentage yet? And regardless of whether there should be collective bargaining with states, aren't there multiple states that have no such provision? I agree with union proponents that unions guaranteed the middle class a living wage and that had positive effects for all of us but, like any institution, they grew out of all proportion with what they actually did. Outcome-wise, unions pretty much miss the mark these days. We need a new mechanism to bring equality back to wage distribution, but it ain't gonna be unions so we should just let them die so we can get on with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:334829 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
