Subject: RE: The strike


Thank you for your message.    I have received several responses, none of
them hostile, but all of them in the vein of "how  naïve you are", "you are
sadly mistaken".     I could very well be, but as you say, I felt it
necessary to pose the questions.     We're being brainwashed into rejecting
the Reforma and people are afraid to think independently.    Not that I
support it, mind you:    the salaries should be 30% higher!   But if they
were, well, I would support the agreement for sure.

By the way,  Ran Erez announced last night that he is forgoing his October
salary, if that makes you feel any better!!!
