Sharon: First and foremost, my criticism of the “article” you linked is
its low quality, evidenced by numerous typographical and
grammatical errors, as well as unsupported conclusions. Add in
the fact that the author is obviously at the far-left fringe
(heck he even slams trade unions and California), and you have
the makings of a piece with little credibility. Honestly, if you or any one else (double D, I’m dropping a hint
here) wish to avoid looking like kooks, you really should vet
your information sources with a bit more care. On 9/05/08, Sharon wrote:
