Reply #16: Let me tell you.

When I was a kid, my dad worked as an electrician for the Pennsylvania RR which was then sold and became Conrail. They restructured and he lost his job. That part of the country was so depressed in the 70's - we lost our car and almost our home because he had such a hard time finding work. Now granted, we could have maybe picked up and relocated somewhere, but that's not the mentality with the people there, and there were no "retraining opportunities". So when I hear these jerks talk about hard-working people as if they're nothing, I get pissed.

Don't get me started on what they're trying to do to unions. :mad:
