OK? Mr. Smith is a corporate pirate/terrorist/criminal....you choose the term. Negotiating with him is an exercise in futility, so he must be dealt with as such. No, I don't literally want to "kill" Fred, or even physically harm the man. I'm trying (apparently in vain) to illustrate that we cannot trust him, make a deal with him, or expect that he's going to come to us with an offer we can't refuse. As others have said, he only seems to understand force. That's why we must unionize, and "kill" him (take him out of the picture) with a legally binding contract.</p></blockquote><p></p>
