Heh, heh, that'll teach 'em.  What do you do with caps that have ingested a
little Ayn Rand, and say that the 'company' was their idea alone, and
therefore their sole property, and so they are quite within their rights to
fire strikers and replace them, and if the strikers initiate the use of
force against the 'strikebreakers', it is the government's duty to respond
with it's 'monopoly' of physical force (ala Homestead, Ludlow, etc, and so
on)?

Speaking of Ayn Rand, my wife used to work with a, I guess you would call
him a lifestyle-Communist (strong on imagery, weak on theory), and to
torture him, she would set his browser to start up on various 'objectivist'
web pages, anyway, one of the ones we found consists of a 'game' where you
are given a scenerio, and have to apply to proper AR rule to it.  Seems
like a sad but very effective way to learn one's dogma.  

Cheers,
Scott
