		<description>Democracy occured when the voters elected the governor and legislators,   
Mob actions by the unions is not any definition of demorcracy.  Mob action is not a definition of professionalism just thuggery.  Look at your friends, is  that a reflection of you?
The scent in the air was unwashed bodies, urine and pot.
But thugs don&#039;t know the difference.</description>

		<description>Written by a true left-nut union man.  Is anyone foolish enough to believe this wrap-yourself-in-the-flag babble?  I snicker at the idea that all of the anti-union people had some sort of back-story of pain and suffering.  This guy then twists their story around so they support the socialist union people.

Personally, I am not questioning unions in the private sector.  I am against them, but it is my choice whether to buy a foreign or domestic car, knowing that a domestic purchase means thousands of my dollars go into union election funds.  

Public unions are a different story.  They have no right to exist until such time as each and every taxpayer can represent themselves at negotiations.  Elected officials are too crooked and untrustworthy to leave this important responsibility to.  

As an Illinois taxpayer, I have no effective representation, no voice, and no one looking out for me.  I can only sit and hope that our ridiculus governor is satiated with the money he has stolen from me thusfar. 

I hope the Wisconsin Republicans crush the state workers unions.</description>
