Back in the time when I covered some "REAL" unionistas...like during the milk dumping era and the thugs the Farmers Union had "picketing"...I had to bite my tongue on several occasions. We were educated to not allow the crude antics of a frothing-at-the-mouth batch of fools to drag us into the fracas, for we knew the 'public' eye would treat us far more harshly than some of the proletariat hurling the epithets, objects, and threats.
