Please get minorities to understand that together they are the majority. THEY have the power. We have to fight together. And minority also should include the old, handicapped, women, well, everyone but old white males and their submissive wives. ;)

...I would include their submissive wives too... they need an intervention to deprogram them from their brainwashing hubbies.

Paying Union dues is like paying Home owners association dues.
When you choose to move somewhere that has association dues, you are obligated to pay them. You reap the benefits of the association simply by living in the area covered by their rules and improvements, therefore you need to pay. The same is true for Unions. This is true even if the association involves itself politically to protect it's interests.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
This discussion on the sixth mass extinction which is being directly caused by human overpopulation is the most important topic there is. It needs much, much more attention and I give you huge kudos for this discussion with Dar Jamail.
How do you get more serious that human extinction??? And it's heartbreaking to think of all the incredible and wonderful species we're taking with us. You need to have either a daily or weekly segment on this topic with different experts in the field. PEOPLE NEED TO WAKE UP!!! I've been watching the current drought and heatwave in the Pacific Northwest and find it TERRIFYING. Same thing with Alaska and all the fires there.
We were on the verge of moving from the midwest to Oregon, and still hope to, but what's happening there bears watching.
People in the U.S. and around the world MUST be educated as to how dire the situation is and that we must change unending growth. It's absolutely critical that we contract both the economy and even more importantly, human population. Otherwise we are doomed.
