That's why, when you've got something that everyone needs, like Fire Protection or Police, the government runs it instead of a corporation...And why, when you've got a company like Turner making cartoons...they can go where they want and do what they want. The only thing that keeps them paying you a living wage? An active union. <br /><br />So leave those guys at CN alone. I know this political talk is just recreational...nobody's being convinced of anything here. But the one clear thing we can all agree on...all this argument is doing nothing for furthering the common goals of working animators and writers who are trying to hold onto wages and bennies at these big studios. <br /><br />So argue geo-politics all you want. Just know that while you're fighting, our real wages are dropping, we're still paid by the hour and somewhere in the bowels of hell, a union busting robber baron from Marceline MO is dancing a jig while you guys fight.hoopcooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034499696886871406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-79243625594609910682010-04-14T13:35:30.773-07:002010-04-14T13:35:30.773-07:00repblikkans and teabaggers live in a culture where...repblikkans and teabaggers live in a culture where accountability and responsibility are forgotten valuesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-32205138592584439672010-04-14T10:06:02.787-07:002010-04-14T10:06:02.787-07:00doublelia: thats good!

The only "benefit" the Iraq war provided was proving that the UN inspectors were correct after all--there WEREN'T any WMD's left in Iraq circa 2003. Saddam was a powerless, toothless paper tiger, who posed absolutely no threat to even his immediate neighbors, let alone the United States 15,000 miles away.<br /><br />No doubt the same guy crying phony crocodile tears about Iraqi children dying because of economic sanctions also hates healthcare reform, and wouldn't lift a finger to help AMERICAN children gain access to healthcare, so that they don't die. He's all in favor of $3 trillion of welfare to Iraqis, but nothing for American citizens here at home. Borders on treason, in my book.<br /><br />Furthermore, I don't hear him crying his false crocodile tears in honor of the thousands of dead Iraqi children who were killed violently because of our baseless war of aggression. Our troops aborted countless Iraqi children, born and unborn, and where is his concern?<br /><br />Apparently to teabaggers like him, $3 trillion wasted on a foreign country, with no benefit to our national security, is money well spent...but $1 trillion to drastically improve the lives of millions of Americans who can now gain access to health care is the end of the world, and a harbinger of communism in America.<br /><br />This conservative has neither a moral or fiscal leg to stand on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-10011189109555212292010-04-13T19:43:52.080-07:002010-04-13T19:43:52.080-07:00$980,000,000,000.00
