Isn't mass-transit just grand ? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Especially when it's manned by powerful Unions. [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

alright, just admit it

deep down macnutt, you're the biggest bleeding heart liberal has ever seen.

You just make these posts to make sure your ideological brethren are equally up to par when it comes to casual political debates.

Your bumper sticker says Trudeau-mania.

Your shirt has a picture of Che.

And a 3x5 poster of Chretien hangs above your bed.

I mean, why else would any rational individual make an effort to steer this post in a manner that baits leftist rebuttals regarding basic political theory regarding labour and production?

why????

I don't know man. I respect your conviction, but I question why you feel it is so necessary to insert that conviction at every turn.

(And I apologize for my "liberal" blurring of ideologies on the left side of the spectrum. It was merely for effect.)

And allow me to predict that Bill Clinton will be mentioned at least once if this post makes it to a page 2.

STM stafff are ridiculously over paid. I have a master in MIS and I make less money then a driver does when he starts.

But here we are talking about the maintenance... They want 8,5% wage increase in 4 years. Its not THAT ridiculous (I will get much less at my current job...), the problem is that they take the population hostage to make their point.

But if you want to see how union can go bad, do a google on the train driver in France (especialy TGV). These guy have the best work condition I have ever seen. Even CEO of important company dont get package that good...

Can you tell that I had to walk to come back home tonight because of these bastards? (and its cold outside...)

I have been found out!!

I really am a bleeding heart Liberal! I've just been foolin everyone here....playin with yer heads just to see how serious you really are.

I'm actually a secret agent working for Copps Chretien & Cowpie Inc.(hereafter to be known only as the "Firm")....and any of you who didn't seem committed enough to pure liberalism would have been whisked away in the dead of night for re-indoctrination at one of Ontario's many clandestine political hospitals. (It isn't actually painful....but you'll have an aversion to jumper cables for the rest of your life). [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img]

That's the absolute truth, I swear it. ( And I never had sex with that woman either. Not even one time). [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

I mean...it HAS to be the truth, right? It's the only possibility, isn't it?

It couldn't just be the simple fact that I am a pragmatic thinking individual who sees the laughable ideals of liberal/left thinking for what they really are...could it?

"Let's get EVERYBODY to use mass-transit! Force those horrible pollouting cars off the road with draconian rules and punitive taxation. Then we'd have a much better world! Right?"

" But who would operate and man this massive monopolistic system? Who could we really trust to keep it all flowing? "

"Well...it would HAVE to be the Big Unions, of course. They're our friends! They'll work with us on this!"

(Homer Simpson voice ) "DOH!!" [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img]


Nope, I'm no bleeding heart liberal. Trust me on this.

But I DO have a Che T-shirt! Several of them , in fact.
