Most American effort in my city hurts someone else in the world. I am a part of this American scheme. I work for General Dynamics. They hurt people, even the people that build their profits. Nader was correct.

Bath Iron Works, in Bath Maine, used to do commercial work when I signed on. That was 20 years before General Dynamics took over the company. Yes, I am having a mid-career crisis. Yes, I have joined the Peace Action Committee in their protests in front of "Mahogany Row." That is just not enough. I have become a union activist not just for the people that work at BIW, but for the people all over the world that we effect.

Rick Mercer, You want to talk to an American? Talk to me. I have a story to tell you.
