" I'm befuddled to see that we still keep running into this though."

Please be more specific... What is it that confuses you. The lack of wages for public service? Or the idea that people are standing up for their rights?

I apologize for my ignorance my communication skills are less than par. I do not understand your comment... Are you associating the recent partial govt shutdown to strike/rally? If so, please explain the correlations.

I was lamenting the fact that just today we've gone over a number of discussions in which people were defending a society without government, and other silly things (including the assertion that government shutdown is a good thing in any capacity). It's not a good thing. It should be very incredibly clear that it's not a good thing.

Do you understand local:fed govt? It's okay to not understand something...
