James Taylor Quotes
I passed on the cocaine,Said bye-bye to my methadone.Put down the bottle for one more day.Backing off of my Tobacco Jones.Still I feel like a hopeless junkie,Like a man who can't say no.I look back and there's that monkey;Rascal won't let go.

Speaking of myself, I was made to realize long ago that the old trade union was utterly incompetent to deal successfully with the exploiting corporations in this struggle. I was made to see that in craft unionism the capitalist class have it within their power to keep the workers divided, to use one part of them to conquer and crush another part of them.
