Greene Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:25:13 +0000 http://www.eiaonline.com/intercepts/?p=1961#comment-2747 I'm a huge fan of Mike Antonnuci's work and normally find his analysis to be spot-on, but in this case I wonder whether Mike is just too close to his subject. Mike knows very well how the teacher unions act with no regard for the truth, so he imagines that everyone else must see what is obvious to him. The comment on my blog is that I am wasting my time because people put a lot of weight in union pronouncements, not because everyone knows they are unreliable. One of these views must be wrong.
