Comments on: Being Rational is not Cool, Apparently http://blog.deepmist.net/archives/104 沒有blog，怎敢說心事 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 09:08:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: S http://blog.deepmist.net/archives/104/comment-page-1#comment-191 S Tue, 11 Oct 2005 08:23:34 +0000 http://blog.deepmist.net/?p=104#comment-191 People make generalizations and unwilling to listen to others because they think that they know something about the subject that they are seeing. This is generally true for most things, like politics, that we see, but there is a difference between knowing something and being an expert in it. However, even experts have different views, so there is really no true answer to anything for that matter. People can only observe patterns, and they can comment about the patterns. That is all that they can do, but there is a probability to everything, so what someone said might be right or wrong. Experts are more right than others in their particular subject based on established theories. With the teacher strike example, I can say that the teachers are teaching their students not to follow the law of the society. Law is supposed to be the backbone of society. If people just say they dont follow it just because they dont like it, then this society would become anarchy(Note: anarchy is defined as everyone "taking care" of themselves essentially by wikipedia). This is where the problem is. Its not about unions, but the formation of soceity in general. Prehaps that is why many well-known 'criminals' are driving mercedes while the average person suffer minimum wage in this country.

Employes in Canada also have too much power. Even without unions, they are protected by the Canada Labour Code.
