[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956461, member: 60724"] Les brings up a very good point. The question was raised early about what is the "ethical" thing to do. Is it really ethical that one of the largest special interest lobbyist groups out there also is on the dole of the govt and its employees? How can that NOT be conflict on interest? Caymen says that without unions corporations would run our government. That argument holds more weight IF unions aren't, in themselves, a lobbying group that works to control our government. Clearly, they are...one of the larger, more well organized too. I know when things don't "smell right." For example, and another example of getting involved in politics... I recently lodged a formal complaint against our township and its board. It seems our township, in its infinite wisdom, felt it was a good thing to offer paid advertising in the quarterly newsletter that gets mailed to each home in the township. When I saw the last couple of newsletters filled with advertisments from local merchants, local building companies, etc, I thought to myself: Okay, how can our township supervisors claim that they are objective when it comes to dealing with these same businesses that are directly contributing to them via these advertisements. Caesar's wife must be beyond reproach. TJR [/QUOTE]
