$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Outcast_Searcher', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('gollum', 'C')orporations have the right to privacy, not the little people.


How about unions? What I find maddeninly hypocritical is how much of the left wants to treat corporations like evil villians, but treat unions (which are politicially active and may be rich and powerful) like they're completely different.

A little consistency would be nice.



Oh I know, those bad old unions making employers provide safe working conditions, putting a stop to child labor, and mandating the 40 hour work week. It would be so much better if we could have sweat shops back!

Ludi you forgot making it near impossible to fire a bad teacher, limiting entry into certain trades, chasing Boeing out of my state to a right to work state, buying off politicians, and bankrupting companies. :) That said, for the most part I do support unions, just not in government jobs.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oowolf', 'Y')ou and your so-called govt live to support corporations. You thought you were living for some other purpose?
It is a violation of the 13th amendment of the US Constitution to be forced to enter into a private contract by law--like being forced to buy "insurance".
But we all know in the real world, constitutions are written by dreamers, believed in by fools, and ignored by TPTB. Cynical but true.
Oh, I volunteer at a food bank, and we are now told we have to "card" EVERYONE who enters the building..i.e.: demand that they show photo "ID". (Of course, some of you know I have refused to carry any so-called "ID" for over 25 years.) This is all so Nazi-like and ridiculous, since, if you do a google search for "fake ID" you can obtain bogus ID's; you can get them from services like FakeIDMaster.com---not that moi would actually advocate doing any such thing.




Is that a legitimate web site? Anyone know what their work is like?

I admire your pluck and for standing up for principle, but I wonder how this works.

In my world, if a cop asks me for ID (like in a traffic accident, or even if I am just walking down the street at night, minding my own business) -- if I refuse, my understanding is the cop may throw me in jail (which I regard as a dangerous and inconvenient thing).

This is what puzzles me about the whole concern about cops asking suspected illegals for ID. If they can ask my european bred white middle class innocuous looking fanny for ID, why can't they ask a person they stop who looks like race "X" for an ID?

I'm honestly curious how you manage this, and whether you've been given any grief by cops about it (even if short of being thrown in jail).


In my world, you're not required to carry an ID unless you're operating a motor vehicle.

There's no requirement to carry ID in the United States. If you're driving a motor vehicle, you must have a driver's license.
