Really? What have I been "turned into"?
I'll ask you the same question. Have you EVER been in a labor dispute and walked a picket line?
I'll ask you another question Have you EVER stood up with your coworkers at your own personal/financial sacrifice to try and make where you work a better place? Have you ever had the sack to say that you aren't going to let management walk all over you, cut your pay, raise your health insurance, decrease what work rules you have, etc? Have you seen people who find being treated like this completely acceptable?

I don't know about anybody else, but I don't think I'd fall into any of the above. The times I started making money it got taken away so fast that I never got used to it. Hence, it's probably the LAST thing I'd worship.
I wonder, since you bothered to post that quote, I wonder what you would do for money?
And just so we're clear, what did I EVER say about the deceased individual? Can you please find something I said about him? All I did was ask a question of another poster who is a bit naive.

I wonder if the situation was reversed. The person that crossed the picket line was the one in the situation you presented. Do you think he'd say something along these lines?
"I'm sorry for your loss. Years ago when he stood up and sacrificed money to make where we work a better place, I was undercutting him, and you guys, his family by going to work the whole time. Again, I'm sorry for your loss"
Do you think somebody that crosses a picket line is "man/woman enough" to do that?
