GUN CRAZY

Since the tragedy in Connecticut you have been hearing about how teachers should be armed.   These people have no sense.  Think about some of the videos you have seen where police stop someone for a traffic violation.  When occasionally a weapon is drawn and shots are fired, how many times do you see anyone hit?  These police are trained in weapons and are supposed to be the best.  All those misses that occur would more than likely kill innocent by-standers and very possible end up with the shooter having an extra weapon.   These people w ho want to arm everyone are flat out crazy.

RIGHT-TO-WORK SHAM

Michigan Republicans are making the state a right-to-work state.  That means that if you go to work at a place that has a union you can work there without joining the union, and don’t have to pay dues.  What’s wrong with this you may ask? One reason Republicans want this is to defund unions to the best of their ability.  Unions are one of the last organizations that compete with the business community at election time.  They would also like to see wages fall so business can pocket a little more money.  To hell with their employee’s.  The thing that bothers me most though is the people who choose not to join and pay dues still get the benefits and protection of the union. It is the reverse of taxation without representation.  Republicans try and say it will help their state’s economy.  All you have to do is check out the right-to-work states, and you will find that most of them are at the bottom of the economic ladder in this country.
