If they would cease screwing their employees, they wouldn't need to fear a union, because the employees wouldn't want/need one.

The world was supposed to end on 6/6/6. But it didn't... I guess folks missed the fact that no one will know the day or the hour...

Besides, I've been told that we are all going to Hayle... I just prayed for them...

Yeah, true - and I'm sick of all those who say the same thing about McCain.

No matter who is elected, the world isn't going to end. People on BOTH sides who say that type of stuff need to take a breather.
