[Fmpro] scab?

[Rick Blanc]

Chris et al.,

 Chris, I will say you are wrong -- on a
 number oflevels, and its not the first time you
 have shown your ignorance.  First why would you
 denigrate foreign musicians by calling them
 scabs?  Your characterization of that situation
 is highly objectionable to me, and I'm an
 American, albeit one who has known and worked
 with a lot of Eastern Europeans, both before and
 after 1990.  They are musicians, surely
 possessing as much dignity and ability as most
 of the people you know.  They are not answerable
 to the corrupt American socialist unions.  Good
 for them.  If you have a beef it is with
 American producers.  And why shouldn't producers
 of any stripe het the best deal they can?

 And by the way Chris, what kind of car do you
 drive?  Where was half the stuff in your house
 made?  How many of your toys are made in China,
 Taiwan, Japan etc. etc. etc.  We live in a
 global economy.  Unless you are a socialist you
 must have some understanding of how markets
 work.  If you want to get mad at someone why not
 go after those who refuse to let American
 musicians be more competitive.  Eastern
 Europeans, after living through years of
 miserable communist tyranny are getting a little
 work.  You would begrudge them that
 opportunity?  Shame on you.
