[Note: After I wrote this and came to a necessary break point, I felt the need to give you forewarning that absolutely no good information about Union History is contained in this post. It's a prequel of sorts to posts-to-come. Read at your own risk.]
My DVR messed up my recording of Beck this afternoon. While I wait until 1:00 a.m. (it's midnight now) to
A. ensure the DVR records the second showing
B. watch A
C. try to transcribe what I missed before passing out
I'm going to spend time on a long overdue personal project -- researching unions.
I'm sick of being taught American Labor History by secondary sources, especially the public sector unions. For months I've been poking around, picking up bits and pieces, but mostly I've been assaulted with contradictory information from opposing sides. And none of it gels. My critical eye doesn't buy any of the narratives. My critical eye has discerned what I currently believe as truth, but my critical eye does not believe the whole narrative of both the Right or Left or Unions in this matter. I'm sick of not knowing a more informed palette of information. My palette is decent, I suppose, but not up to my personal standards.
