Nerves of steel Asia Times Online, Hong Kong
The sad lot of the steelworkers in Cleveland is just around the corner from the school-bus hordes visiting the fake-pyramid I M Pei-designed Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame and Museum - an apotheosis of Disneylandization. A verse from rock 'n' roll heavy worker Neil Young comes to mind as applied to the steelworkers: 'It's better to burn out than to fade away.'
Ohio is a key swing state. Bush and his campaign team are constantly visiting. No one gets - or stays - in the White House without carrying Ohio. But the White House better beware: For Ohio blue collars, Bush and globalization are the real evildoers. Says a former steelworker at a Wal-Mart: 'We're going to do everything in our power so George W Bush this year will join the unemployment line.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:17 AM :: reference link ::
