Darcy, I think there's a difference between your right to *fight* for a job and your right to *have* that job. I agree that workers have the right to fight for their jobs, and *should* do so, and that there's nothing artificial about that fight. If the iceman's union says, "We know that there is now this newfangled technology that lets you have an electric icebox in your house that doesn't actually use any ice, but we'd like to restrict the manufacture of those devices in order to preserve the jobs of our members," they are absolutely entitled to make that request (or demand). But actually *limiting* refrigerator manufacture would be, I think, an artificial way of staying technological progress.




I'm not clear on a point of semantics – what is the difference in your mind between "restricting" and "limiting" refrigerator manufacture? Because I don't see a difference.
