Mine? Mine was in reply to his. Which was in reply to yours.
So how exactly, being unemployed with no income do you propose people find a lawyer and pay them to handle a class action suit? Lawyers aren't free.
You might eventually get some free legal advice, but they're certainly not going to do the leg work for nothing.
I think finding a new job would be a bit more important than perpetuating the sue happy world we live in.

Likwid I just realized I quoted your post and not the racist reply from Capt. Crunch, sorry for the confusion.
While I agree with you Likwid, you have to say that in theory doing what I suggest is certainly appropriate, and just, regardless of who the governor is.
It must be disgusting to see individuals gain employment with the state just because they volunteered to drive the governor around, or made cold calls, or stood holding a sign, when they themselves are supremely more qualified for the same job. This isn't directed at any one political faction. It something I have been annoyed with for years. Every taxpayer funded position should be advertised, or to get the job, a written exam should be given and from those results, plus interviews, the jobs should be awarded. From what I have read, and through personal contact I have had with members of the ACLU, this is exactly the type of cause they could take up, and score huge public relation points with a broad spectrum of our population. Sometimes suing, while burdensome to the system, its the only real way to bring equality to a system set up to favor the annointed and chosen few.
