While I'm 26 and a fairly party-line purple militant, I believe you'll find I--- like most actual organizers, staff, and officers of SEIU--- defy the stereotypes about us.  My mom was a nurse, and I've been both a janitor and nursing home employee; I didn't go to college, I plan to continue organizing for the rest of my adult life (pays better than moving furniture!), and I maintain a certain amount of agnostic, critical attitude towards my patron.

 Jim,

 Welcome, to a union organizer!

 I for one would like to welcome you, and even though I only
participate in the discussion here when we hit an odd topic...  I
would like you to know that having an actual union organizer on the
list will be pure pleasure.  I hope you can share your thoughts often.

 Jerry
