I locked the thread when it devolved into a non-survival related political argument. I was made aware of this by emails from other members of the forum. Our rules are clear and for the benefit of all. Stay way from political content and keep discussions civil and on topic. The thread started out fine and you made a great point. If the thread had stayed focused on the survival related issues, nothing would have been done. Survival is good; anti- and pro-union content is not. Thanks for your understanding.
