| Well, I've sat here tonight and read over all the postings on all of the threads tonight, and I'm glad to see that all the gradeschool bickering that went on last night and all the playground bully (puffed up chest) bad-assed language and name calling has been deleted. I'm sure we all Thank You for at least doing that for the good of this Forum. As far as starting a plan for another Shutdown, I think maybe ya'll need to do what I just spent the past couple of hours doing, reading back through the posts on the different threads. When you're done, you tell me whether you really think this is a likely possibility. I remember somewhere back in the recent past that we decided to start a Boycott of Exxon/Mobile & Pilot. We said that was the first battle we needed to win. To stop the oil companies from driving us out of business with outrageous fuel prices. It started off great and was growing. All of a sudden I don't hear a damn word about the Boycott or anyone protesting at Exxon stations or at Pilot Truckstops, NOTHING. What the hell happened to "One Battle at a time"? Now everyone is on the way to jumping all over the damn place again and wanting to fight all the battles at the same time. We haven't even come close to winning the first damn battle yet. Ya'll walked off the damn battle field just when the fighting started. You're talking about a NationWide Shutdown again. You can't even stick with a simple Boycott of a couple of gas stations and truckstops, how the hell are you going to shut the entire trucking industry down? I'm all for the Shutdown, don't get me wrong. I just don't think ya'll are ready for it.
#1...You are never going to pull a nationwide shutdown off and keep it legal. It will never happen.
#2...You won't do it by sitting in front of a computer to get the word out and organize an industry whose members spend most of their time behind a steering wheel, not a computer.
#3...I have seen TTW sit here and step up to be a Regional Rep. to help organize and get people together and on the same battle field. She has worked hard, and has sit here and begged repeatedly for people to step up and join her in being a Rep for their areas. She Got TWO in all this time. TWO !!! That's a disgrace. Where the hell are all the rest. You can't get Regional Reps. to help out right here, how the hell are you going to shut down the entire country?
We need to sit back and realize that if we even try to do another major shutdown and fail miserably again, there is no more chances...The American public lost damn near all the confidence and respect they started to have for us after the last Dudd. It will real soon get to the point that they don't back us at all. We can't afford to lose them.
You will never have a Nation Wide Shutdown by letting the governent and the police tell you how you can do it. When you get to the point that You Are Ready To Tell Them How You're Going To Do It, You just might make it work. I could go on and on and it probably wouldn't do any good, so I'll let someone else step up and give us his or her opinion, and hopefully we can all learn something constructive tonight before it's too late for all of us. |
