Quick Note...

For anyone interested, I recommend watching/reading/listening to the Democracy Now interview with Utah Phillips:

I know it turned my head. I'm not very knowledgable about the labor movements and their history in this country but found the obvious sympathy for the dignity of the human person striking. As I mentioned in my first post, his remarks on television are enlightening. Altogether, a great little group of stories from one who regarded his fellow man with compassion, as one who has suffered has cause to do.
