balls. But it is unfortunate the way the workers do get hurt sometimes, 
when the real enemy of BOTH groups is usually the management and owners 
of the company.  For example, lumber companies really don't care about 
the forests they clearcut, but they also don't care if a logger loses his 
job, loses a finger or a hand, or gets killed.  

Maybe some people don't care about the resource or about the health and 
welfare of the people that work for them, but my bet is that it's not too 
many. It really is innaccurate and unfair to paint everyone with the same 
brush just because they happen to be "management" or any other group 
(religious, ethnic, philosophical or otherwise). 

When someone uses generalizations it just reinforces in my mind that what 
they have to say should not be taken seriously.
