wow Austin that is some great work

Wjohn, one of the specific reasons, for AC's downfall, was communist controlled labor unions.  To spite what some say, this IS the case, just read Walter F. Peterson's book, "An Industrial Heritage".   It's still available, in reprint, from the Milwaukee County Historical Society.  There are those who gloss over it to be politically correct, but I am not one.  This may kick the topic down to the politics section, but at least I was nicer than usual, and wish only for the truth to surface, not be glossed over!

Son, do you want me to quote chapter and verse, again??  In our last argument you obviously hadn't read the book, just as you didn't read my last post.  If you had, you would see that I said "one of the specific reasons"  You do know why I call  you son, don'tcha?

Yea, I did read your last post, I can read and that is why I responded the way I did.   As for you calling me "son"...idk Dave. I have two hunches...   #A You are old and may be suffering from memory loss or alzheimers that you can't rememnber that my name is by my avatar.   #B You are a flat out rude and pathetic individual who does nothing but targets individuals to troll and post negative comments about. You of all people, having conservative principles, should know that things in life are EARNED not HANDED OUT. Guess what Dave...you won't earn my respect and I can't imagine many other people respect you on here either.   If you don't like my blog or what I have to say, don't read or listen. It's America. :) Have a good evening old timer.

You left out #C, I am just someone who reads a lot of what is on this forum, and does not like to see just one side of the issue presented.   In your blog you make a statement that the communists had nothing to do with the strike, at AC, but In Peterson's book, I suggest you peruse(read) page 344, where it describes the fate of  Mr Harold Christoffel, head of the union local 248.

I think you lack the maturity to post  based on logic, not feeling.  I know that I push your buttons, just right, but it is to make you think objectively.  As to your blog, I wouldn't have visited it, unless you had invited me to, by providing the link.

I don't need to earn your respect, and others can think what they want.  I will sign off now, son, (the reason I call you son, is because you are so bright, see???).
