For being a voice and thought and uncompromising research which is sorely missed until your threads call out something that is being done to the private, public labor in this country and other issues

Thank you for keep me informed, it brings out my past and my future obligations to care, just like in my debate classes

I like that! Especially since it's true of Omaha Steve. I think we should use it often on this board to recognize others who educate and inspire us. I mean, we've got LOL, IOKIYAR, IMHO, K&R - we could shorten this one to GGO.

So, Omaha Steve, please won't you be our first GGO???

He is very caring and compassionate but also has a lot of spunk. A real, dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. He is my favorite DUer.

… it's frightening to think that some could acquire the equivalent of more than 20 years of formal education at this place.

unless you specifically took a course in high school and/or college on those topics, I think my statement is true. I learned a little about labor unions in college, but it was in a course not devoted to that topic.

One can learn an awful lot at DU, if you pay attention to the right groups and the right posters. I'm grateful that people take their time and energy to educate the rest of us, instead of being selfish.

Thank you Omaha Steve for continuing to spread the message of unity amongst the workers, the real makers.
