"The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance"
(Benjamin Franklin)
"With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done mot for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men." (Clarence Darrow)
Just think about the Ben Franklin quote......Education is definitely expensive but ignorance will cost you plenty as it is all of us today. Not that we were ignorant but until the economy took such a huge downfall in the last couple years people were just content. Content that they had a job and not worrying about the people they didn't know that were losing their jobs daily do to the outsourcing. Now that this 'epidemic' has affected us all in some form now we want to do something to stop it (and we should). Well guess what it, is expensive. It's costing people their jobs, their homes, and in some instances their families. So next time you think you are saving money by purchasing something not made here in the USA, think again, the only thing you're saving is another country from getting some of our unemployment rates! And Even though I would rather someone by and American / union made product I also realise that Honda is made in a factory right in Marysville, Ohio. So is it fair to say not to buy that product because it is a foreign company? I don't think so since it employs many people from that area. And if you quit buying that product that would just put those people on the unemployment line also. Wouldn't it be a little hypocritical to say you can buy a Mitsubishi only because Mitsubishi is Unionised?
Okay I have began to ramble, as usual, and have wondered away from just posting a couple quotes so I will leave my thoughts at that.
And well the Clarence Darrow quote is pretty much self explanatory.
