Way back in the day the teamsters tried to unionize where I worked in Texas. If they succeeded the owner was going to shut down and we’d all lose our jobs. A thug told me if I went down the hill to work I’d get a bullet in the back. I had to go down for a moral reason but I’ll leave that out of the story as it’s personal. I told him just to make sure he killed me, and I gave him a long look. that was the end of that

I remember it well. The teamsters trying to organize the place where I worked threatened me with the ol’ acid in the face deal. Then one of them threatened to wreck my car. I laughed at him and told him to get a good look at my car which I had nick-named The Goatmobile.

Nowadays, you shake your Internet-capable phone in the thug's direction, saying even if you do kill me, my family, my sons, my friends, Tea Partiers from across the land and the police will all within the hour have the thug's picture and the recorded threat just issued available via download. Many will find the thug and it won't end pretty for him!

I would have asked the thug if he was armed.If he answered yes,I’d tell him that I am now in fear for my life and,well you know what would happen next...

...the teamsters tried to unionize... If they succeeded the owner was going to shut down and we’d all lose our jobs.

That story has played out over and over again in every state in the USA. What lesson have the teamsters learned? Try it again! In some books... to keep trying the same thing over and over with the same result (ALL jobs lost) is the definition of Insanity.
