I lol'd at the title of this article :)
less than 2% of wi were at the capitol. Yes...at any given time.during normal business and school days for how many weeks? And how many other places in the world waved solidarity flags for themselves and wisco? It gathered national attention and it appears as though we'll get those sigs needed. What percentage of wi is over 500k signatures?just a thought :)
I admire the fact walker wanted change, and had the balls to try and get something done. However the changes made and the lack of tact to get them pushed through were the sour spot. Seeming to push his way around and through and just do as he pleases, especially hardly even acknowledgeing the capitol occupation and public outcry solidified my view on him. You don't take office and just do as you please when the public is reacting in a way that...well, really was nearly unprecedented.that's why scott walker is getting recalled. How can you be in office and not listen to the people making acry so loud it resinates not only nationally, but internationally?

On Poll question: What do you think about Drug Court?
Posted on March 3 at 3:11 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Drug court is a great alternative to regular court, especially for first time offenders. Lumping non-violent offenders-especially first time offenders with all the other criminals is not a very good move. It's bad enough that the system is basically a school and a networking place for criminals to hook-up, as it's very hard to change your ways when surrounded by crooks! It isn't fair to assume that ANYONE is going to live a life of crime, or that anyone catching a charge-even a felony- is destined to be a repeat offender. Far too often bright people make mistakes, or fall on hard times and make poor decisions and the knee-jerk reaction is to throw the book at them. I support drug court, as I believe everyone deserves another chance, and HELP. The system in general is flawed, and once you are in, it is painfully difficult to escape and restructure your life. Once you have a black mark, it's really on you! Rehabilitation in general should be priority number one in any type of court. Granted, many offenders(admittedly more like a majority) are going to repeat offend. The ironic thing is that statement and mindset itself is what catches and keeps people in the system and prevents them from rebuilding their lives.Those who are much better than their charges. I say anytime we can fund a program that is designed to rehabilitate rather than incapacitate someone's life as a whole is certainly worth the time,money, and effort. I'm not even sure what the success rate would need to be to justify this; how can you put a price on giving those who deserve another chance, exactly that?

voiceofcommonsense- for the record, i'm not even part of a union. ever. i wish i was so lucky. my mom and aunt were part of a union for decades, and then abruptly lost their jobs when g.m. left town. (no, they didnt work at the plant,either) so to speculate i'm any sort of union official is quite laughable. cute,even-considering i'm probably easily one of the youngest posters here ;) sorry for the poor punctuation, it's only atrocious because im trying this out from my fancy new smart phone. cheers.

i don't think the Unions have enough power to keep the economy from going under after countless factors are figured in. Bush, War, .com bubble,etc.
Nice try,though.

All these comments, so easy to lash out at the Fab 14. Bashing them and their vacation, how they arent doing their duties, etc.
Well, I applaud them, for taking it to the next level, when a squirmy little twerp like Walker wants to push things through, "stripping the workers of collective bargaining rights is necessary to give the state the flexibility to get its finances in order for the state to balance its budget...."
Yeah, felxibility. A.K.A., you don't have a say in the matter. As in, what's that? Oh, you've been stripped of your collective bargaining RIGHTS. Keyword here-RIGHTS. So, we'll just make a cut here, cut there, little off the top, and wa-lah! There you have it, whether you like it or not. Oh wait, isn't that why unions were formed in the first place? Because of people like Walker just pushing through, doing what they please? We're tajlking about stripping RIGHTS. And these rights were put into place so that things like problems with the budget(that are of no direct fault of those being affected by the cuts) wouldn't supercede the RIGHTS of hard working citizens. Shame on you all that are for busting the unions. Shame on you. Why would you want that? So that Walker can fix his budget but attacking union wages? How about walker takes a big pay cut to show a sign of solidari....oh, that's right! He isn't about solidarity! And he's who? Wow, that's too bad.
The fact that he had toyed with the idea of putting hired people into the crowd to make unions look bad is just despicable. He's a worm.

I think what we fail to realize is that anyone could have done what walker did. And things could be as good or.bad as they are now. But nearly ANYONE would have done it better. That's the underlyin issue. Oh and how his pockets arepadded akd from whom.
