[QUOTE=corktownyuppie;430521]I don't know how many US Steels, Northwest Airlines, Delphi, Hostess, etc. we need to see before unions realize that things are not the way they used to be.

Union leadership needs to stop saying "Where the money comes from is not our problem". Certainly they shouldn't take the majority of the blame, let alone the whole blame. But you do have to wonder...when the Firefighters Union was fighting tooth and nail to remove the residency requirement, who did they think was going to replace the lost revenue that would be used to pay their pensions?

And unions aren't the only example:

- People need to learn that breaking into someone else's house is not just a crime, but that it will likely get you killed.

- You can't operate a motor vehicle on Belle Isle when you've had your driver's license suspended 18 times.

- A white mayoral candidate, born to a Republican judge and residing in the suburbs can get an endorsement from a Black Panther and annihilate the competition in a write-in campaign in Detroit.


Things are not going back to the way they used to be. I wonder how long it's going to take for people to realize it?[/QUOTE]

In this town? Decades.....
