Tilii, dear boy, sometimes I despair of you. You need to reread my original posting again to see that my Luddite comments were in regard to (a) their unrealistic expectations in today's commercial environment; and (b) their dependence on legislation that has its basis some two hundred years ago - a century before powered flight even started!
I'm most certainly not - as you insinuate - anti anyone joining any union. That's their personal choice - and as a libertarian I'll defend it to the hilt.
As for your linking of bonding to this issue ... wow! I'm left speechless. I bet that you're one of those anarchist types that believes that property is theft, don't you?
Unless, of course, you're merely being deliberately obtuse?
