Vladimir,
	 Check out Louis G.'s post for a working class voice.  I find that
a lot of petit bourgeois intellectuals like to define workers as
uneducated and unable to argue on the same terms as them.  In other words,
the minute a worker dares to speak-up, to write, to read, take classes,
etc... then the bourgeois and petit bourgeois say:  "Oh, he or she's not a
*real* worker, look how articulate he/she is." But if a person comes from
a working class background and works for a living then that person is a
worker whether they are articulate or not.  I hope you're not falling into
stereotyping workers as ignorant.
