Playing Dominoes

First it was Wisconsin. We've been watching it for a week and about an hour ago I gagged as I watched FoxNews interview the president of the Milwaukee WI teacher's union studiously avoid the very simply question about whether or not "doctors" providing fake excuses and then teachers lying to administrators about their whereabouts for the past week. He couldn't get himself to say it was unethical and illegal or even simply poor judgment.

The talking points told him to whine about democracy and process and having a voice and the will of the people and the teacher's concerns for the chillun's education. He missed all the parts about elections and legislative majorities and constitutional process and debate on the issues. He missed the essentials that parents and non-union teachers and school boards have plenty of motivation to take care of educating the children without a union. It was pathetic.

Then Gov. Kasich in Ohio saw the rising swell of union professional pickets similarly unwilling to deal with the outcome of a free election and a shifting majority in the state.

Now we've got yet another bunch that don't quite get the idea that the will of the people is expressed in the majority outcome of elections and that legislation is the means of expressing that will.

A refresher course in free market economics might be in order. Possibly a review of the way these things work in red states which don't seem to have a problem functioning very competitively and effectively without public service unions...or for that matter manufacturing, trades and corporate operations unions.

Then maybe some simple math with take-home exercises in which you determine what constitutes a majority and how election votes are counted.

Dominoes are falling in blue states and there seems a good chance that some union toes are going to be impacted by the collapsing tile structure.
