I make it a point that if I run into a genuine racist,or someone of similar ilk, I encourage him to talk. I don't argue because it's more important to me to find out what makes him tick.
An erstwhile neighbor worked at the GM plant in the San Fernando Valley. He told me about his work and the damage he caused. (I think to Corvairs - the small GM car.)
He would apparently take a swing with his hammer at the engine block - for fun.
That must be a couple of decades ago. I still remember it.
I suppose it's still happening.

Ed,
Reminds me of a study that Lee Iacocca (sp?) once commissioned and buried. He was the Chrysler CEO who got the Feds to bail Chrysler out. After he got them earning money again he was thinking about running for president. He commissioned a study (at least $1,000,000) of the US workforce to get attitudes of workers, etc. The results were so disturbing, that those who did the work were sworn to never write about any of the results.
At that time dissatisfaction levels were so high that a high % were ready to commit sabotage at the work place.
