Thank you for your comment. I will not counter your responses as this would uneccessarily narrow and deflect the debate.
However your reply is, to me, somewhat revealing. You would clearly make (or are) either a splendid politician or union leader. Your argument and phraseology suggests more than a passing experience in (or affiliation with) one or other of those disciplines; given your apparent disdain for the former, I suspect that the latter may apply.
Should I be correct, then your fullsome contribution to this thread is more than understandable!!
