    Good Morning. Today is Sunday, July 15, 2012.
    On this day in 1959 the United Steelworkers struck all U.S. Steel plants. Dwight D. Eisenhower eventually invoked portions of the Taft Hartley Act to end it.
    But uliutmately what the strike did was result in significant amounts of steel being imported to the U.S. for the first time.
    The USW essentially destroyed their own U.S. industry and now Pittsburgh is a ghost town.
    Of course the union bosses still have their cushy jobs and high salaries.

    Good Morning. Today is Thursday, July 26, 2012.
    On this day in 1775 the Continental Congress created the Post Office.
    Like the Constitution also created by the early founders, it also is in grave danger of being abolished.
    Both are being destroyed by the politicians in Washington.

    Good Morning. Today is Saturday, July 28, 2012.
    On this day in 1794 Robespierre was sent to the guillotine, showing once again that in almost all cases following a violent revolution the winners eat their own.
    So you Morons believing in revolution, be careful what you wish for.
