No, actually, I feel the need to express my distaste for your rampaging brutishness. Nobody on this list, including Chuck, has or will ever cross a legitimate labor picket line. If you don't know that, then you're just thick. You're spluttering about nothing. Why? And you're also wrong: Whether or not to cross a picket line is not a law. It is an individual choice. As a unionist, I support everybody's right to make the choice for herself or himself. I will try my best to explain why not crossing is important, and I have done my share of yelling and name-calling at people crossing pickets I've been on, but jail is not the answer. Stalin is dead and buried, thank god.
