33. You're right, I did
Edited on Thu Mar-02-06 06:29 PM by msgadget
and "A fair day's pay for a fair day's work" is irrefutable but...but, who decides fair? As a social value...lemme think on that.

Obviously I have a hard time with simple declaratives and based on the president's appeal his voters don't.

As a foundation its profound but there really are two different universes... I get the guiding principal thing and the knee-jerk response you gave was great but...is that enough? Is it enough to just throw that out there? What's a universally acceptable response to further probing?

I still think the right has been trained to smell 'organized labor' in such sentiments though... Still overthinking? Hey, maybe I'm *anticipating* instead. :)

Edit to add: How about a right as an American instead of social value? I see protectionism and nationalism on the rise...
