It has long seemed fairly certain to me that *a* major,
if not *the primary* objective of creating
the Office of Homeland Security is to strip government
workers of their workers' rights, as a beachhead for
doing the same to every worker in the whole country.

It's a victory we can win even if we don't just
let Trojan Horses into the city, but don't even
know the difference between the gates being
open or closed, or what a gate is (etc.).
The dismantling of workers' rights just is
one of those Kantian ideas that is
good in itself (it is "a good will", i.e.),
and Bush knows in his
heart he is right about this, like about
everything he does -- he has Presidential
Infallibility [in matters of government
policy only, of course, just like the
Pope is infallible only in matters
of faith!).
