Ok, I'll give that I missed that. It's called civil disobedience,
of course, and I'm yet to hear how this kept people from reaching the
park . . .

"Fashionable thinking," now there's an interesting way to look at
worker's rights! You wanna go back to the days where laborers were
chained to their jobs (sometimes literally) and unable to complain
about conditions, please feel free to move to China. Me? I'll be
joining the CTA (California Teacher's Association) when I become a
teacher, the biggest union in California, arguably the most powerful,
and I'll be damn *proud* to be a member!
