The sheep and the wolves, the people and the government

A NATION OF SHEEP WILL BEGET A GOVERNMENT OF WOLVES.



An intellectual, also an alpha male, has two options in life. Either side with the wolves and enjoy life eating the sheep, or side with the sheep and suffer like Jesus Christ. Most intellectuals choose some point in between on this scale. I highly respect the few ones who side with the sheep and forego all the benefits of being a wolf.

Blood on Israeli leaders hands, cold blooded massacre

Israel today killed more than 200 Palestinians in air raids. This is a real David and Goliath battle, but this time Goliath is the Jewish people. Shame on the Israeli government. How could a people who had been persecuted under Nazi regime just half a century ago do the same thing to other people???

Israeli leaders should be put on trial in the international court of justice for war crimes against humanity.

Increase other workers' salaries, don't decrease the 3 giants' salaries

Thanks George Bush. The salvation package for the 3 big auto giants came with strings attached: reduce the salaries of their workers to the level of the salaries foreign owned manufacturers pay their workers. How about asking them to pay their workers Indian or Chinese salaries???

Instead of asking the foreign owned companies to increase their workers salaries to the level of the union workers, the US government expects the big 3 to reduce their workers' salaries. Now that is the government of people for people and by people. How about asking the management class in these big 3 to cut their salaries to the level of their workers' salaries and then distribute the huge amount that is gained through that cut through the workers??? But no, of course, that is sacrilege. The only way to save the big 3 is to cut the meagre salaries of union workers.

Let the big three go bankrupt

I don't believe in capitalism. But in the situation that now the three big auto find themselves, I think the best road to pursue is bankruptcy. Let them go bankrupt. Out of the ashes of these corrupt slow monsters will rise small and efficient and powerful new companies with new ideas for the future of transportation. They should not sustain these giants on their death beds and let them live artificially.

capitalists trying to disband the unions under the guise of fighting the crisis

Capitalists are at it again. So the reason for the falling of the house of cards in the automobile industry is only the unions, not the stupidity and greed of the bosses who awarded themselves multi million dollar bonuses.

Even in the middle of such a huge and devastating crisis, they are still after their nemesis, the proletariat and the wage earners. I say:

1. We have to thank Unions. Without the strong unions in auto industry, that can gain good benefits and salaries for the workers, the other industries will be more aggressive in cutting wages and benefits. At least with these unions, other workers can always point at their benefits and ask for the same from their bosses. That is the reason the whole capitalist class hates the big unions and wants to get rid of the auto workers unions.

2. General public, instead of hating and being jealous of the auto workers salaries and benefits should ask for the same from their own industries. This is the name of the game for the capitalists, make other workers angry about why they are getting that high salaries and push them to demand that "they" should get as low as us. While the rational thing is to ask that "we" have to receive as much as them, not that they have to be like us.
