I can be a patient man with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.—Ed Asner, Postal Press Association Conference, 8/2/03

If you object to unfair treatment, you're an ingrate. If you seek equity and fair consideration, you're uppity. If you demand union security, you're un-American.

But if you are passive and patient, they will take advantage of both.— Congressman William Clay, Sr., speaking to the AFL-CIO Federation of Government Employees, 1975
