Wagner's MBA Law of Unions

Wagner's MBA Law of Unions: Unions are annoying because when they run amok they destroy the competitiveness of some industries, but I also like that collective bargaining lifts the wages of all employees in communities and otherwise provides a countervailing force to remind employers that although you can sometimes get employees to work for almost nothing, it is not a sustainable social or economic venture to do so.

Wagner's MBA Law of Punishing Cigarette Butt Litterers: Littering with Cigarette Butts is a form of "Environmental Terrorism" (...isn't everything called "terrorism" these days by our sensationalistic press?) and those terrorists should be punished by having to listen to Helen Reddy's "Greatest Hits" for 24 hours, nonstop...

Wagner's MBA Law of Publicizing Terror Sieges in France

Wagner's MBA Law of Publicizing Terror Sieges in France: It is only a "Terror Siege" if the news media calls it that. Terrorism feels like a publicity event when the news media blows it out of proportion. If they said, "Bad men are doing bad things in France...," isn't that just as accurate without promoting terrorist organizations and individual terrorists? Terrorists are not writing these sensational headlines, but journalists are. What if we covered news about criminal acts without linking the event to some sort of global terror conspiracy...? I'm just sayin'...
