Labor Unfriends

Things in Wisconsin are hectic right now. The new governor is trying to bust all the unions of the state workers that didn't endorse him in the last election. He's using a temporary budget shortfall as an excuse to take down organized labor. But that's my take on it. Plenty of other people have other opinions, and they voice them very strongly in their Facebook status updates. And that's the one bright spot for me in this ugly political dispute. I finally have a reason to 'unfriend' people from high school that I never knew then and certainly don't know now. It always seemed so petty delete these people before. Now I can do it with purpose. And, though I hate to admit it, there's a certain degree of satisfaction derived from deleting these people from my life so quickly and easily.
