Well, but only a strike of the executives and some technicians. Not of the general workers.

When they bring out the army against the strikers as well as foreign scab labor, it is the workers.

Nope, not a chance. Most of the people out on strike were executives -- and believe me, managers can never be considered workers. Talk to any working stiff, they'd laugh their butt off at the idea. Having spent a good many years working as a logger and other manual labor professions, I consider it an insult to the working man to call execs "workers". I think it's great Chavez fired them all. And actually, I'm even wondering if they need any "scab" sysadmins. That might be very cool, to get a decent job in what is beginning to look like one heck of a lot better place to live than the US. It's pretty clear by now that last Spring's attempted coup and the current strike was all engineered by the CIA and the current whitehouse scum. Chaves must be a pretty decent guy if he's not rounding up all those bozos who were making the trips to DC just before the coup. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
