But I think it's a perfectly reasonable idea that you shouldn't be able to refuse to do your job whenever you feel like expressing a "grievance" with no consequences except possibly loss of pay for the period of time when you don't work.
Why in the world would that be a reasonable idea?
Because society depends on people doing their jobs in order to function.
I have found this most wonderful (if fairly lengthy) article, and thought you would enjoy having it brought to your attention.
It is so good, I think we should include it among the references in the "Politics is the Mind Killer" wiki page. But, before that, I submit it to you, and ask you: is there anything in this article that would warrant its exclusion from this site? I mean, besides the fact that it is about politics, and written by a notorious Social-democrat (And is that in itself grounds for exclusion?).
