Micahel- I'm wriitng you off-list in response to your dissing unions.

  I reccomend the book from which the quote comes: "One Market Under 
God" by Thomas Frank. You can read an excerpt of it online here:

"The market is the reason our housing is so expensive. It is the reason 
our public transportation is lousy. It is the reason our cities sprawl 
idiotically all across the map. It is the reason our word processing 
programs stink and our prescription drugs cost more than anywhere else. 
In order that a fortunate few might enjoy a kind of prosperity unequaled 
in human history, the rest of us have had to abandon ourselves to a 
lifetime of casual employment, to unquestioning obedience within an 
ever-more arbitrary and despotic corporate regime, to medical care 
available on a maybe/maybe-not basis, to a housing market interested in 
catering only to the fortunate. "
