    Sounds good, but it is really difficult to overlook the atrocities of exploitation of Africans, Amerinds and Chinese. We did it to the Latinos too. Union contracts are not made among gentlemen. Check out the labor union and Henry Ford.

    J.P. Morgan made his fortune off the backs of coolies. Henry Ford had sweatshops before the unions got organized. Exploitation of the masses is still what drives the world, aka the love of money.

    Many folk are still trying to be first on the treadmill to oblivion.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
