Maybe the 17-year-old should start a petition for parents to be shot so they can collect death and dismemberment insurance to finance their education.
My real problem is with Sineed, for opening a thread to notify us of this toxic waste - and doing so in "labour and consumption". I demand that this thread be closed.
Dude - we've been talking about this strike on a couple of threads over here. And Michelle started that other thread about union-bashing. This development is pertinent and interesting to babblers.
What I'm wondering is, how do you respond to this (I mean, other than how you've already responded)? This kid is getting some attention with this petition, and there are people who admire his initiative.
I have found the input of babblers to sometimes come in handy when arguing with folks.
