Tom,
At the risk of sounding a bit shrill....since when has those in the Ivory Tower ever gotten serious about other folks security?
I would suggest you might as well bet on the Redskins winning the Superbowl the next two years running as thinking anything is going to really change for the working stiffs.
Your collective heads are on....and will remain on the chopping block until someone decides to lop them off.
If and when the Boys decide they want you..... they will find a way to do so.
It is a gamble that you take.....are you being fairly compensated for that risk?
