November 8, 2012 - Ohio is as Ohio does: 

For whatever its worth I felt the innate feeling & need to post this:

Just some things to think about as long as we are clear headed and open minded about where we are headed. Like the woman described in Connie Schultz's opinion article my own late father was also a 'factory rat' if it can be called that these days. 

He was a quality control and a materials handling engineer at one of the big three within the Detroit area and I for one was a proud daughter of mine father who had worked so hard to ensure that his wife and kids were provided for and that both the needs and wants of a household were dealt with. My father was by no means a muscled chisel man, nor was he some wealthy millionaire unlike some of mine uncles who were loaded with so much wealth in Cuba it could make some person's own head spin.

But he was a man of simple and humble means arriving from communist Cuba to provide my late mother and kids the freedom afforded no where else but here within the United States. I too had marveled at how my father worked hard but smart too at that plant. I marveled at how he functioned and moved around that plant with so much proficiency and it was because of pride either. It was because of earning that check that carried with is so many benefits at the time. 

Please take the time to read this article as you would another when possible with an open mindset. For nothing is ever accomplished, if seldom, with a closed mindset.
