A Friend of mine made a comment that really puts one reason to grumble in the perspective - "They need to quickly stop acting like this is a democracy when it's really...not. Advisory councils and the like. Run it like a business or run it via the will of the people. SUP is not going to be able to get away with simply trying to placate the masses by allowing them phony input (or none at all) after saying their opinions count."
I wasn't really disturbed about a), but when I read the b) (statement) I felt that such a phony explanation was insulting. If you do something, wrong or right, stand up to it.
On other issues I'll not waste any words or time, but I will say that I'm ready to support the strike. I understand why people are upset, and while I'm not really as outraged as they, I'll be here (or not, to be precise). In addition, I do not give a damn about 'it will not do a thing' attitude. We are all responsible for our actions and its consequences - what will be 'their' reaction to my action does not matter in the least when it comes to making this kind of decision.
If your feelings are not 'hurt' by the whole thing, just forget about it...*shrugs*
