If the Union Members are going to not support themselves then why should I continue to support them?

63. Hi! Husband works for KCPL

(a power company--800 strong--Int'l Bro-hood of Elec Workers).
Of those 800, 799 (most likely) vote R. Charlie takes in articles
and argues with these guys all the time.

In his experience, it boils down to ignorance and lack of even
a modicum of critical thinking skills. Period, end of story.

I'm a member of good standing with Am Fed of Musicians.
Physical probs don't allow me to perform anymore (but
back in the day I was considered a musical prodigy and
played my first pro gig substituting for vacationing
string players in a symphony orchestra at age 17).

I still pay dues. I will always pay dues. I've incorporated it
into my measly budget and am proud to do so.

It isn't rocket science. It's about politely engaging in
conversation with these guys. His friends, some of whom are
truly toothless wonders, listen politely to Charlie and me.
Whether they buy it or not, they'll engage. That's all I can do.
That's all anybody can do. Educate to the best of your ability.
