Colin I am not forgetting....in fact exactly the opposite I am drawing peoples attention to how things were before.......as I stated earlier it was only through workers uniting and forming unions etc that we enjoy the freedoms we have today.....had it not been for those pioneers of the union movement and their pain and sacrifice we would still be like our poor cousins in third world countries.....that said we are still slaves to the system and do not have ANY power or any say in the way we are controlled..... we think we have but that is delusional. We have a ways to go to think we have freedom. People have short memories....we have to make sure we never let the nasties impose their ways...cause they would return us to those days in a flash if they could get away with it....meanwhile we must strice to shorten the gap between rich and poor...WORLDWIDE.
