Re: Firefighters strike
Nov 12, 2002, 17:51
Mad. Every firefighter i've seen interviewed expressed serious reservations. You have none whatsoever?

I support their right to risk lives by withholding their labour. You appear to be implying you're glad they're doing it (or are you 100% neutral... no reservations, no exultations - straight down the middle?)

And it's not analogous to the fuel blockade. The firefighters are potentially risking lives by withholding a service that they are not obligated to perform (cos that'd be slavery, or serfdom at the least). The dangers imposed upon society by their action is a byproduct of their right to withhold labour.

A proposed fuel blockade, however is not the exercise of a legal / moral right (unless you feel you have a legal / moral right to endanger unwitting people to make your personal political point). And the dangers imposed upon society are not a byproduct; but rather the entire point.
