"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."
The giant wanted to negotiate and it was slapped in the face. Like it or not, it is the way things work and if you do not believe it you are naive. Look at any stadium built for a sports team and you see what happens. Negotiation gets you some of what you want and trying to slap your adversary down can get you an ass whopping. I do not agree or totally disagree with the process but understand the process and how to best work in and around it. Obviously the new guys do not understand or want to get the best for the constituents they are suppose to represent. As many have said, still waiting on the 25% rollback they promised!! No answer to this question every time it is asked.
