Yeah Keg, that was part of the reason behind my "do I know you?" question a couple of posts ago.
Because I quite amicably know PAF from RAAF days many years ago. My last correspondence was a couple of years ago, but I would be a little bewildered if that whole exchange was from the same individual, as I wouldn't think he would be the sort of guy to invent a whole new pseudonym just for an anti-union rant. PAF's opinionated and proud of it.
Either way, I sincerely doubt that ElPerro speaks from experience of both sides of the coin, otherwise a more balanced view - pros and cons, etc - would probably result.
I totally agree with the middle ground statement, and fear that Australia is becoming more like the USA - politically polarised. You know - "you're either with us or against us".
Another logical fallacy! The "False Dichotomy"! How many can we talk about in one thread?
