Sargon

Well Krill I guess you don't know much of anything since you are a D and you think October is the next meaningful month. Anyway Krill, just remember that some mean nasty conservative told you in June of 12 to prepare to have your D rear end handed to you again and again, and in big ways, for years to come. That's what you have coming buddy. And your whining about segregation (police etc) is soo funny. Classification and segregating is the single ONLY reason the D party has ANY power today at all ( 90% votes EVERY SINGLE TIME from blacks, professors, DC journalists and trial lawyers....and a 10% gender gap for 50 years from women and "guys" like you). You don't know jack squat Krill but like all libs you will be sure until your death that you're right about everything (and you'll be wrong about it all....for life....like all libs who never learn anything useful after the age of 16).

You're entitled to your opinion however stupid it is. For our economy to "suck" to such levels says more about you than our economy. Let me give you some advice bro....don't count on a union job to give you 60 years of excessive pay and benes cuz that ship has sailed and as much as you hate it, that's the truth end of story. Learn to manage your career for real and be prepared to provide high value every day and year to your employer otherwise be prepared to be unemployed / low pay with a crap retirement. Unions are nothing more than another form of excessive power such as business monopoly / oligopoly which was ineffectively addressed some 80 years ago. Excessive government power is far worse and has never been address/checked in the history of the US. Anyway back to unions they'll continue to die in the US since they always produce globally inefficient output and they aren't dying fast enough if you are committed to US global financial excellence. To the OP who didn't google anything to exactly know what's going on recently....I think what you're sort of "knowing" is that Wisconsin state government employee participation in union membership has quickly dropped by more than 40% since now those employees don't any longer have automatic union dues deductions from their paychecks (and think about that comrades.....until recently they ALL PAID union dues whether or not they wanted to do so....comrades). For all you D's (that means socialist there is no distinction whatsoever) that like to claim the US is a free country well you don't know squat about anything (as always) but you should carefully consider 40+ percent of "uninion members" immediately CHOOSING to NOT be in your thug union when they had the FREEDOM TO CHOOSE (you libs love choice so love it more or reject it entirely lol idiots). Sieg Heil !!!

For all you hand ringing libs.....you should pay attention to a few important realities such as Kansas's every two year elections and it's balanced budget requirements which in one form or another nearly all states now have before you are overly concerned about their impending unavoidable catastrophic collapse. Kids.....just be happy that a new and different experiment is underway and wait and see what the result is since it will have no negative impact on you (since you don't live there but if you do....I suggest you become a wealthy business owner asap and if you don't, I still suggest you become a wealthy business owner asap (this thread put KS on my list of now 4 states (Nebr not on the list obviously because it has income tax and nothing particular to offer) as to where I'll open my new financial business ). Oh...I should point out that lawyers are the bane of the U.S. and they should all be subjected to a min tax of 70% but since they comprise 90 some percent of all elected officials one should not expect those vermin to self regulate even in KS today. So....that is one terrible miss in the new legislation.

No surprise as B.O. hasn't touched this state for months since it's been a forgone conclusion that union thugism was going to get smashed in this wasted time wasted money "special" election. Too bad for Wiscy that their laws are so loose as to allow for such waste but that's typically what US governments foster......waste, inefficiency and no consequences to the political criminals (Corzine belongs in jail for example but he's not and instead continues to be one of B.O.'s largest bundlers).

I wish Bo would just focus on winning 11 plus games a year and not think or talk much about anything else. As for the current system, it sucks so unless one offers up a clear good alternative then I am deaf to complaints about alternatives.

SIAP.... Bo's contract doesn't allow him or his people (so agent, wife, whatever....there is no hole to loop through) to communicate about his potentially pursuing another HC job without first informing Tom. So, if the other party initiated such contact, Bo would have to shut that down quickly at least until he informed Tom. Secondly, it's my understanding that the Big Ten has an unwritten rule that HC's are not poached.

Fantastic! (3 post guy says to 2 post guy )

Hi all, noob here. Anyway, you all know the OP so I don't need to vouch for this story but I will anyway and I'll be stepping in to to what I can. Big Red football is great but its not the be all end all, as this OP makes so abundantly clear. GBR!
