re: 36th anniversary of Ronald Reagan firing all the air traffic controllers

I went to church with a guy who was fired. He was in complete denial for a while, blaming everyone but himself. He finally came to grips with it and accepted his own responsibility for his blind allegiance to his union.

It was the right call by Reagan, but the people he fired were generally good, hard-working people devoted to their jobs who eere misled by their union.
