re: #213 wrenchwench

No offense intended, but I can’t look fairly at the opinion of a Pinkerton guard about anything having to do with striking union members. You know the history. Yes, union bigwigs have the same rate of corruption and assholery as all other bigwigs, but I can’t get past the association with things like the Everett Massacre. Yes, it was almost 100 years ago… sorry…

Had I just said “guard” without the “Pinkerton” qualifier, would you have said the same thing?

And, yes, I do know quite a bit of the Pinkerton history, something that the company whitewashed and sterilized in their corporate history for decades. By the time I joined the company, Pinkerton had be thoroughly corporatized.
