I wrote about coercion the other day. In fact, I argue the contracts that are a part of the public employee arrangement are the result of coercive measures; that they are in fact "coercive contracts." That they are as such, non binding.
And covering only the contracts themselves, one could argue the illegitimate role that labor provides, when discussing compensation and bargaining with public entities. The monopolistic nature of Michigan's public sector employment pool negates any entrepreneurial efforts towards excellence that might develop, and the state's tax payers are hardly served in any constructive or positive manner. In other words, a free market for those positions residing outside the labor influenced sphere would create great opportunities. Perhaps that is what labor fears. So much so, that it has now returned to its base form of thinly veiled threats of violence and extortive measures on the private entities that actually pay the bills. People OUTSIDE government now facing the very same violent animal attitude of organized labor types. Not yet here, but very, very, close. It seems for the time being folks, we have ALL become Wisconsinites. To the gutter we go.. (below) (2 comments, 554 words in story) Full Story By JGillman, Section News
Suffering a case of "too much to write about" block.. Really, I have no shortage of opinion on any number of topics, but just cannot narrow my focus for more than 2 minutes..
In the mean time, I felt compelled to mention there is a premier on ABC tonight of a new COP SHOW!! Woot! Yup.. On schedule, the every 8 year phenomenon continues to boggle the imagination. This time, they are in the 2nd most dangerous city in the world, kicking azz, and taking names. Yup and as incredible as it might seem, there is a controversy surrounding the use of a city second only to Baghdad in its danger quotient for the new crime drama:
DETROIT -- Detroit 187 premiers Tuesday on ABC 29&8 but the show doesn't come without some controversy. Paint? Who needs paint? My guess is the film crews have only been "skirting" the real Detroit. Nothing portrayed in this fictional series could be as bad as the naked reality of the "forgotten" and ignored places seen safely only through mediums like Google earth.

when did our sitting US senators forget what is of critical consequence to Michigan? At what point did the fat globules break loose and stop the flow of blood to the brains of Senators Levin and Stabenow? Do they understand, or even CARE about the business and manufacturing communities in Michigan who use electricity as a part of the creation of goods?
If you though it was bad already be prepared for "bad" multiplied by ___<--Insert large number here. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow had an opportunity to stand up for Michigan, and its economic interests, and the jobs of its residents. They had a chance in a vote held yesterday to say to the EPA, that CO2 is NOT a pollutant to be regulated by the agency, particularly in light of the climate-gate scandal that demonstrates the science was never truly settled. They had a chance to demonstrate they actually are paying attention to those developments showing the climate change "science" to be a fabrication of grant seeking opportunists willing to exchange their souls for a few coins. Let me get your imaginations started on what MUST happen now that the regulatory beast of the federal government has been given new freshly sharpened teeth.
