The County Kerry region
County Kerry, traditionally known as the 'kingdom', is situated in the extreme south-west of Ireland. You can see regions of outstanding scenic beauty, such as the Ring of Kerry. This is an unspoilt region of Ireland that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. Its spectacular beauty is beyond question and it is a natural centre for outdoor pursuits including golf, watersports, cycling, walking, riding and the very best fishing for salmon & trout.
The Ring of Kerry has some of the finest beaches in Europe that provide all the facilities for a traditional seaside holiday. Above all the Ring of Kerry provides an amazing insight into the ancient heritage of Ireland - see the Iron Age Forts & Ogham Stones, Old Monasteries and a landscape carved out of rock by the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago. Visitors to Ireland should not miss a trip to the beautiful Ring of Kerry.
Kerry capital Tralee is only 25mins drive Here you will find there is no shortage of things to do: a plummet down a giant water slide, a guided tour through a medieval castle, a round of golf on a great course, a boat trip to see 20,000 gannets in colony, a walk or bike ride in Europe's quietest valleys and hills or a visit to a pub to enjoy a meal, a conversation with the friendly locals or the delight of a spontaneous traditional Irish music session.
Killarney which is just over an hours drive is a vibrant town with incredibly beautiful surrounding countryside which makes Killarney a very special place indeed. It is a superb place to visit with tour options, jaunting car trips, boat trips and lots more.
Situated in north county Kerry it is an ideal base to tour the south west region, Ballybunion is home to the Ballybunion golf course a world renown golf links that is ranked in the top ten golf courses in the world.
The golf course of Ballybunion was the subject of a visit by president Bill Clinton of the United States of America (August 1999). For all keen golfers this is one golf course recommended for a round of golf.

"Spacious Holiday Home in Ballybunion"
Very pleasant modern house, within walking distance of beach and town. It was quite near the library, where there was wifi. Overall the house was spacious, and had a lovely kitchen diner. There was also a small utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. The sitting room had a comfy sofa and armchairs. The beds were mostly quite comfortable, with mattresses ranging from soft to very firm. It was great to have three bathrooms - the main bathroom was particularly beautiful. The garden was quite big and sunny with a table and benches, paving and plants. Ballybunion itself is a super holiday area, with fantastic beaches, evening entertainment and daytime cafes.

List Animal Stories on Blue-fronted Amazon

Ashley Gonet - 2014-05-07
I have had my Blue Fronted Amazon parrot since he was born out of his egg. We had his parents and they bred about three times. Jack was the very first born, his siblings are much bigger than him because he is literally a midget, (and I'm not kidding). We gave his siblings and his parents to a woman at a pet store called Bird is The Word in North Aurora, Illinois. He is eight years old and loves to talk, (in his own way because he doesn't speak). I have been teaching him to talk for all of his life, but he's just plain stubborn. He squawks at me for my food every time I am eating, and I think it is adorable every time he does. At first when he hatched from his egg in our kitchen he started to bond with my dad, later on I don't know what happened but now for some reason I am his companion for life. When he doesn't get enough sleep he gets a little moody, but when I come home from school every day he acts like I was going to leave him forever. I love this bird and I would recommend this type of bird to anyone wanting a companion, or a feathered friend that acts a little goofy from time to time.

angiepoo - 2014-01-02
Hi..we have a double yellow headed Amazon that a friend have to me a few months ago. She's around 8 years old and has a very extraordinary vocabulary. We spend a lot of time with her. She comes in and out of her cage as she pleases except for at bedtime when we cover her cage. She has a very large cage and lots of toys. She is fed well with a top of the line parrott food. We've done all the things that is recommended for parrots however, she won't let us hold her. She will occasionally go into my living room or on my counter and that's the only time im able to pick her up when she knows im taking her to the top of her cage. Anytime I go to pick her up from the top of her cage, she snaps and just moves away from me. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get her to let us hold her? When my friend owned her, she use to let people hold her at one time but when my friend started work and no longer had time for her, she spent alot of time alone. That's why she have her to me. I really want to hold her but I don't want to traumatized her. Any advice?? Thanks in advance. ;-)

Tyler - 2014-04-30
On this past easter 2014 I got a call at 8:30 in the morning from a friend, I didn't answere it cause I was tired, then he texted me so I figured it was important. The text read there was a white dove in the school parking lot so I got there as fast as I could because I had been looking for a pet white dove. So I got there and my friend was sitting next to it, I must have spooked it because it flew at me then crashed in his garage. I caught it then his mom saw another one by their fence. I caught that one also. So it's a week later and the one I thought was the male built a nest in the nesting box and the one I thought was a female won't nest yet, so they both laugh, bow, coo and coo but the one I think is the female has a scratchy coo, not as smooth so I am expecting eggs, thinking it's a pair of doves by my research, and she still wouldn't nest so I provided a higher nesting box for her but the 'male' has been sitting in it and acting very territorial of the nest. Could he be a she? Then the female has been guarding him, not sure him is a he could she be a he and when will she lay?

I've just had lots of experience with too's owning one and being involved with them in other families, pet stores, vets, etc. Being in a small town, I get the phone calls to come assist with large birds because their owners are afraid of them or even the vet is a bit afraid. The most important thing is don't let your too rule you - and they will if you think of them as an object or a conversation piece. They are almost human! LOL! Little feathered boogers.
I have a 12 year old too named Ziggy. He is definitely the boss and the joy of the house hold. World's best doorbell and burglar alarm. LOL! He notices things outside even before the dog does.
Too's are wonderful birds and wonderful pets if you have the courage and the patient nature it will take you'll be a good "daddy" or "mommy". They are the most affectionate of all the birds and that's what draws people to them. They can play so coy and sweet. But, be prepared as your mighty too will be a perpetual 2 year old for his/her entire life. They are very curious and get bored easily if not interacted with all the time. Hence the antique furniture and everything else getting chewed up if you are not watching them like a 2 year old.
Extremely intelligent and can have a very large vocabulary if you work with them. Ziggy can carry on a full conversation with you and it makes sense. He can argue, reason and barter with you. Loves people. Laughs like a human. You just really need to know what you are getting yourself into before you decide to get one of these mighty birds. They can be very sneaky and they have great precision with their beaks. They can peel wallpaper right off of the wall and also remove the label off a CD without damaging the plastic. They also act out if they are mad or during a full moon.
They want to be a part of your world and they are almost human. They want to do what you do and go where you go. Indoor or outdoor. Ziggy will follow you right out the back door and into the back yard. They are the world's best snugglers and will just love all over you. They are EXTREMELY LOUD!!! I mean, hear them 5 blocks away loud! Ear piercing shreiking scream! You just can't have a too if you are in an apartment. No way. And there's no way to quiet them either. With work they won't scream as much but that is still part of their nature and a game. If Ziggy gets on a screaming binge I go scream with him. He loves it! It's a game and he'll calm down very quickly if I play with him and scream.
For example, when we first got Ziggy it was in the fall and warm enough to have the windows open. He wasn't secure in his surroundings yet so he did do a lot of screaming. Neighbors showed up and were ready to call the police. They wanted to know what autistic child we were beating! That's not a joke! That really happened! They lived 3 blocks away.
They aren't usually, however they will bite if threatened or scared. A loud sound like a truck backfire may cause the bird to nip you simply because it depends on you to protect it. That's your cue to get rid of the scary thing. If they are mad they will bite. If they are on you and feel like you aren't paying enough attention they will bite. "If bird is displeased - bird will let you know!" Converse with the bird. They love to talk back and its so interesting to watch them shape that tongue and beak trying so hard to form words and talk back. They are so sincere in their response. They want to communicate with you.
They are very social and love people. You usually don't have to worry about them being a one person bird. However, most guests you have are a little leary so you need to be with them while they are interacting with the bird. They don't understand the behaviors like you do and they can misinterpret behaviors and possibly get bit. The bird will show off and jump and down and giggle, and whistle and yell while the bird is on their shoulder. That scares people and they will jerk back and the bird will bite to hang on. Warn your guests of this. Just stay calm and don't jerk around.
Everybody wants to see the pretty birdie! Especially children and too's don't particularly like jerky, small, fast moving children. Not a good idea to let the bird get on children unless the bird is already used to children being in the house. Also have guests remove earrings, glasses and necklaces before handling them because birdie will go straight for them. Not that birdie will pull them out but the guest will jerk away and rip their earrings out that way. Its an automatic reaction to them, whereas to you, you can just say, "Quit it" and the bird will stop. Guests don't realize that and it is a natural reflex to jerk away.
Ziggy has a strict rule, "No hats on in the house." He will take your hat off your head and throw it on the ground and laugh. They can be trained to do tricks. Play dead or even ride a skateboard if you are willing to work with them. His laugh is what gets everybody going. A hearty robust laugh that is appropriate. He knows what's funny. He can watch TV and laugh at the appropriate moments. Loves music and loves to dance and show off. Usually Ziggy is very quiet and calm when it's just us but when company is around he stays animated and won't calm down until everybody has played with him for a minute. Then you are excused. LOL!
Talking? Watch what you say! Of all the wonderful cute little phrases you teach your birdie, you can rest assure that it has learned EVERYTHING else you've said or that they've heard on TV! Just let the preacher come over for a visit and the birdie will shoot off a string of cuss words knowing EXACTLY what he's doing! LOL!
They are very loveable but I tell people up front when they think of getting a too that the name of the bird should be "destruct-a-birdie." They love wood and they can splinter it in a heartbeat. I always keep a supply of 2x4 pieces for Ziggy to chew up. Works better than any $40 colored wooden thing you can buy in the stores and its cheaper too! He doesn't like toys and will ignore them. He only wants wood to chew on.
Highly intellengent and great problem solvers. When I first got Ziggy he was peeling the wallpaper off the wall so I was going to be smart and put plexiglass around the top of the cage so he wouldn't chew. (The walls are painted now. LOL!) I got the plexiglass and drilled holes it in to mount to the cage with "U" bolts. I threaded the nuts down on the U bolts finger tightened. I went to the kitchen to get a pair of plyers to tighten the bolts down good. When I got back to the cage, Ziggy had one of the U bolts in his beak and handed it to me and giggled. THAT'S how fast they are and that's how smart they are. You just shake your head and laugh.
"My bird chewed up all the doors, baseboards and door frames! We had to get rid of him!" Yep! That's why all mine are wrapped in tin and that's why you keep a fresh supply of wood for the bird to chew on.
Food? Ziggy is a bottomless pit. LOL! He loves anything you love. He gets his own plate at the table and climbs the chair himself and hops on the table and eats with me. This causes problems because during dinner parties he expects to be part of the dinner. LOL! Most guests do not want a big bird at the table even on his perch. Yes there is seed for him to eat in the cage but too's love anything. Fruits and starches and even meats. They need other foods besides the seed. You also have to watch house plants. You will find you have your own personal gardener. LOL! Some plants can be deadly to birds so watch the plants you have.
Also they love things with bright colors. Cleaning chemicals, etc. come in brightly colored plastic jugs. Need I say more? Remember - 2 year old child. Just use common sense and you and your too will be very happy together. Not to scare you off but just use good common sense. If a child can get hurt doing it, so can a too.
We didn't know anything when we got him. He was handed over to us and he was very unsocialized. Look at the pretty birdie! In that first few months I don't know how he survived because we didn't know what to watch out for. He ate a battery. He ate a gallon jug of bubble bath. Each time I thought, "Well, that's the end of THAT bird!" Be proactive and remember you have a 2 year old in the house.
Sharp beak? Sharp claws? Use a dremel. You can get battery powered dremels for dog nails. You'll be surprised at what a game you can make to get your too used to it. Ziggy lets me do his nails and his beak without any fluff of the feathers. He feels very pretty after they are all done. They have that much trust in you. I wouldn't use a dremel bit on a drill. Too forceful. The battery operated one is much safer. Even clipping the wings he'll just sit there and let me do it but you have to work with them. He used to grab the scissors with those big pink feet and throw them across the room. If you have ceiling fans then you must keep those wings clipped because birdie is gonna fly at some point. Either scared by a noise or just looking for you.
Messy? Oh yeah! They are mess cats. If you can't handle bird seed flung all around the cage and poop - go no further. "Doo Dissolve" is a wonderful product and smells wintergreenish to get rid of the poop. Putting a towel down on the floor around the cage will help. We have lots of "birdie towels." And they love to start pooping and throwing seeds right after you've cleaned up. LOL! They'll show YOU!
They have to interact and they can't just be locked up in their cage. They'll start plucking from neglect. Ziggy runs free in the house when I'm home and sleeps in his cage while I'm at work. I come home at lunch and play with him every day. And then of course when I get home he's usually on my shoulder, running around the house or on his perch waiting for me to finish cooking dinner.
Vacations are a problem too. You can't leave the bird for a week or two. You must get somebody to come at least take care of the bird or board it. Fortunately, we have a vet in town that boards large birds and Ziggy is allowed to run around the shop and they feed him their lunch. He gets to play all day and the customers love him.
Is all this worth it? YOU BET IT IS! That is my baby! I wouldn't let Ziggy go for a million bucks! And you'll be the same way. At least you will have some insight and be prepared for the little feathered monster. LOL! Just don't be scared of the bird. You have to be in charge and the bird will respect you. If you are timid and cower away from the bird, he will take charge of YOU. And that means doing it with finese. NEVER hit your bird! You may be frustrated but NEVER EVER hit your bird! Both of you take a time out and work on the behavior problem that was unacceptable. They will learn and they will stop certainly behaviors if you do it right and not lose your cool.

I have a large aviary with 6 Zebra finches and thee white doves. The flight area is 8'x15' and the connected heated shed is 6'x8'. I added 6 society finches, waited a week to make sure they are healthy and put the cage in the shed, and they will not come out of their cage dispite opening all 3 doors. Should I force them out?

Female SI Eclectus eats feet to point of open wounds. Started six months ago. Good avian vet saved her infected legs and feet. In collar feet heal with daily soaking and Harrison's Soothing Cream. Take off collar she lasts 48 to 72 hours then goes back to scraping delicate flesh eats feet/legs to point of open wounds again. She's 13 and never any problems till now. Very little feather plucking. Chronic egg laying for past 10 years. Hopefully cycle finally broken with her in collar. Blood work ok. Any ideas/solutions? Mites?

Diddy - Big Homie
Artist: Diddy
Featuring: Rick Ross, French Montana
Producer: Ben Billion$
Album: Money Making Mitch
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 11 votes )
If you go to any hood in the U.S. or beyond, odds are the locals will have heard of Sean Combs. For his stature and the level of respect that his name commands, the Bad Boy capo dubs himself Big Homie on this freshly-minted single off his next LP—his first album under the Puff Daddy moniker since 1999's Forever. The headliner's high-rolling verses, in combination with Ben Billion$'s imperious street boardwork, may have listeners thinking of a different hip-hop mogul… and who should pop up on the back but Maybach boss Rick Ross, spitting about his preferred method of transporting dope. (He stashes it in a beautiful woman's stomach, of course.) Diddy's own signee, French Montana, rounds out the guest lineup. Money Making Mitch has yet to receive a drop date, but we'll keep you posted on the set as further details emerge.
Update: We have added the visuals for Diddy's Big Homie single.

For those of you that are clinging on to the smaller glimmer of hope that CM Punk will return to WWE some day, there may possibly be some good news this week. Punk posted a warm message towards Paul Heyman, his former on screen manager and good friend in real life, on Twitter. That post was noticed by Triple H, who made it one of his Favorites. For those that are not keen to social media, that means that he approves of the message. It also shows that HHH isn't as upset with Punk as some people think he is.
November 23, 2014
There is a little bit of a buzz generating from the independent wrestling circuit. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas are going to be reuniting for a show in Houston, which is being promoted by Booker T.

November 20, 2014
There's been quite a bit of speculation this week about former divas returning to WWE. The latest name on the rumor mill is Maryse Ouellet.

There are those that believe that Maryse could be interested in a return, if it meant that she would get a spot on Total Divas. The exposure could help her business ventures exponentially.

Styles attempted to soothe the situation over, but Heyman kept going.
November 12, 2014
Speculations are floating around right now that Bully Ray has grown frustrated with the management team in TNA.

November 12, 2014
Fans in England are forced to wait a bit longer for the WWE Network, as the company announced at the last minute that there is yet another delay.

However, complications keep arising in that particular project.
November 3, 2014
Rumors have long been floating around that there is some professional resentment from Randy Orton towards John Cena because he feels that WWE shows preferential treatment towards Cena.

October 26, 2014
With reports surfacing that he has signed a new contract with WWE that enables him to work fewer days, Randy Orton has decided to take to Twitter to address the issue.

Orton has not worked as many live events as he used to, so there are some merits to the reports.
October 12, 2014
If you are a big fan of Edge and Christian, then you might want to tune into Monday Night Raw this week. WWE revealed earlier today through Twitter that the two of them have just arrived. A picture was also posted of the former tag team champions getting out of a vehicle. No word yet on where they are, but there is a chance that they could appear on television tonight to promote the Smackdown week.
October 6, 2014
Since he abruptly retired from professional wrestling, Charlie Haas has been relatively quiet. He abandoned his Twitter account, and he only appeared sporadically at obscure independent wrestling shows in Texas. The former WWE star is making a little comeback in November, though. He will be teaming up with Shelton Benjamin for a Jersey All Pro show in Rahway, New Jersey.
September 18, 2014
Through his Twitter account, Ryback revealed to fans that it has now been 18 days since his surgery, and he has been recovering extremely well from his still unknown injury, which is rumored to involve his groin. He should be making a return to WWE very soon, as he is now pain free. He might not be rushed back, though, as management really doesn't have a story ready for him.
September 15, 2014
Even though the company has scaled back tremendously on their pay per view schedule over the last year, TNA is holding an event this Saturday night. It is a One Night Only theme, and several former stars are returning to the promotion to work the show. Sonjay Dutt, Trent Baretta and Low Ki are among the names already announced.
April 10, 2014
In a rather interesting story that made the news, Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt were at a grocery store in England, where they are working a tour, when they were spotted by a wrestling fan named Phill Maher. He invited the former TNA stars to his house to have tea, and surprisingly enough, both of them agreed to do so.
March 22, 2014
While a lot of people would love to see him back on Impact Wrestling, it appears that Sonjay Dutt has been doing rather well for himself on the independent wrestling circuit. Over the last couple of weeks, he has been booked on both sides of the United States. The former TNA star also has a tour scheduled for England very soon as well.

Allan Rayman - Angels
Artist: Allan Rayman
Producer: Ken, co-prod. by Moose
Album: H.O.H.W.
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 2 votes )
Fresh off earning acclaim for late-October promo cut #14, reader fave Allan Rayman returns to our pages with Angels, a freshly-selected single off his last street album. Here, Ken and Moose's ominous synth-sample boardwork backs the T-dot recording artist as he recounts his ill-fated romance with a woman so fine, she must have fallen from heaven. Director Steph Verschuren crafts some salacious visuals to complement the emcee/singer's rueful bars. Feeling it? There's plenty more where this came from; click here to cop Rayman's July mixtape, H.O.H.W., for free in the Booth.

Black Friday flyer for greedy shoppers!!Submitted by Josh on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 15:24
How's this to hand out to people waiting in line the night of Thanksgiving (or the eve of Black Friday)
"Dear friend :
Why are you waiting in line today/tonight?
How much are you looking to save? $100? $200? $500? $1000?
Just think about :
1) How much income taxes you've paid last year alone!
2) How much more of your consumer goods , from food to clothing, electronics to entertainment have gone up in cost!
THERE IS A PROBLEM, and, THERE IS AN ANSWER.
Dr. Ron Paul will eliminate the IRS, keep your money, no more income taxes.
(Contrary to your belief, federal income taxes pay for ZERO services in return to you, but only for debt accumulated from the federal government)
Dr. Ron Paul will restore accountability of money by making it sound, and abolish the destructive Federal Reserve robbing hard working Americans of their wealth.
(If you're annoyed about greedy corporations, BE VERY ANNOYED about the Federal Reserve, a private interest that doesn't answer to either Congress or the consumers)
As a retail store owner...
don't tick off the brainless shopper. my livelyhood depends on it.
We need a shoppers slim jim
like we have for farmers or gun owners.
Shopping malls, and outdoor malls are great places to hit, and will only get more populated as the season continues. This is something that will click with consumers, because they have most likely just made or will make a purchase
good idea
what should be on it?
obviously too rushy to ask the campaign to make them (assuming they even listen to us)
Here's an idea.
Why not create a simple "slim-jim" looking ad. You know what I am talking about... the cheap little leaflets that people leave under the wipers on your car. Take inspiration from the slim-jim but keep costs low and print one side, and in black and white. Also, add a coupon at the bottom that reads...
"Vote Ron Paul and Get One FREE Country!"
Most people will at least look at it thinking they are being offered a free lunch or something.
- kipload
more ideas please!
Spread the Anger
Email this video link out. This will motivate them
Good Timing, but...
I think the idea of hitting Black Friday is a great idea. Please don't take this personally or negatively about the idea itself, but, have you seen the people that shop that day? Getting up at 4am to buy a doll made in Taiwan and find free gift-wrapping? The last thing this group of people want to do on this day is think or even contemplate the consequences of money.
As I said - the idea is good, but I think the approach needs to be holiday driven and fun. Something silly and satyrical - even reflecting on Black Friday itself. Then, amidst a crazy day with the hoards of humanity, they might get a little laugh or smile and have something to think about and discuss with friends on the drive home. What about a greeting card with a Christmas elf on it giving them the gift of freedom when they open it up? Or, Ron Paul Liberty Candy Canes!
What about? - This might be cool (just came to me). I know there are groups that wrap presents as a fundraiser. What about a gift-wrap table with Ron Paul info while you wait and a donation jar?
Just my thoughts. Thank you for your efforts. If I am wrong and the flyers work - please let me know that I should never go to Vegas.
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."--Mark Twain
Black Friday shoppers are crazy.
I agree wholeheartedly. For the first time in 6 years, I will not be working in retail during the fourth quarter, and I am sorely happy. These are great ideas.
thanks for feedback
I asked for it, so i must think about it.

SOMERVILLE, N.J. (AP) — A judge in New Jersey sentenced a former "Melrose Place" actress who was driving drunk when her SUV plowed into a car and killed a woman to three years in prison.
The victim's husband yelled "what a travesty" at the judge when it was over Thursday.
Amy Locane-Bovenizer faced up to 10 years in prison after a jury in November convicted her of vehicular homicide in the 2010 death of 60-year-old Helene Seeman in Montgomery Township.
The judge lowered the maximum sentence due to the hardship on Locane-Bovenizer's children, one of whom has a medical and mental disability.
The actress apologized to Seeman's family.

THURSDAY, Jan. 5 (HealthDay News) -- The incidence of cancer and the mortality rate due to cancer is higher in people with type 2 diabetes compared to those without the condition, according to a study published in the January issue of Diabetes Care.
Hsin-Chieh Yeh, Ph.D., of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and colleagues sought to quantify the association between patients being treated for diabetes and cancer incidence and outcomes. They evaluated prospective data from 17,681 adults without diabetes and 599 patients with self-reported use of medication to treat type 2 diabetes. Cancer incidence information for these individuals was obtained from state and county cancer registries, and mortality data were collected from death certificates.
The researchers found the age-adjusted incidence of cancer to be 13.25 per 1,000 person-years in adults with diabetes compared with 10.58 per 1,000 person-years in adults without diabetes. After adjusting for potential confounders, the risk of incident cancer was 22 percent higher in people with diabetes than in those without the condition, and the risk of death due to cancer was 36 percent higher. Among individuals who developed cancer, the risk of death due to cancer and the risk of death due to any cause were higher in adults with diabetes. Diabetes appeared to play a greater role in cancer mortality rather than in incidence rates for colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers.
"Our study suggests that for many common cancers like colon, breast, and prostate, diabetes exerts a stronger adverse influence downstream, after cancer occurs, than upstream, in relation to incident cancer risk. Whether improvements in diabetes management might reduce the risk of mortality in cancer patients with preexisting cancer deserves further attention," the authors write.

Charles Krauthammer: The right-to-work dilemma
For all the fury and fistfights outside the Lansing Capitol, what happened in Michigan last week was a simple accommodation to reality. The most famously unionized state, birthplace of the United Auto Workers, royalty of the American working class, became right-to-work.
It's shocking, except that it was inevitable. Indiana went that way earlier this year. The entire Rust Belt will eventually follow because the heyday of the sovereign private-sector union is gone. Globalization has made splendid isolation impossible.
The nostalgics look back to the immediate postwar years when the UAW was all-powerful, the auto companies were highly profitable and the world was flooded with American cars. In that Golden Age, the UAW won wages, benefits and protections that were the envy of the world.
Today's angry protesters demand a return to that norm. Except that it was not a norm but a historical anomaly. America, alone among the great industrial powers, emerged unscathed from World War II. Japan was a cinder, Germany rubble, and the allies - beginning with Britain and France - an exhausted shell of their former imperial selves.
For a generation, America had the run of the world. Then the others recovered. Soon global competition - from Volkswagen to Samsung - began to overtake American industry that was saddled with protected, inflated, relatively uncompetitive wages, benefits and work rules.
There's a reason Detroit went bankrupt while the southern auto transplants did not. This is not to exonerate incompetent overpaid management that contributed to the fall. But clearly the wage, benefit and work-rule gap between the unionized North and the right-to-work South was a major factor.
President Obama railed against the Michigan legislation, calling right-to-work "giving you the right to work for less money." Well, there is a principle at stake here: A free country should allow its workers to choose whether or not to join a union. Moreover, it is more than slightly ironic that Democrats, the fiercely pro-choice party, reserve free choice for aborting a fetus, while denying it for such matters as choosing your child's school or joining a union.
Principle and hypocrisy aside, however, the President's statement has some validity. Let's be honest: Right-to-work laws do weaken unions. And de-unionization can lead to lower wages.
But there is another factor at play: having a job in the first place. In right-to-work states, the average wage is about 10 percent lower. But in right-to-work states, unemployment also is about 10 percent lower.
Higher wages or lower unemployment? It is a wrenching choice. Although, you would think that liberals would be more inclined to spread the wealth - i.e., the jobs - around, preferring somewhat lower pay in order to leave fewer fellow workers mired in unemployment.
Think of the moral calculus. Lower wages cause an incremental decline in one's well-being. No doubt. But for the unemployed, the decline is categorical, sometimes catastrophic - a loss not just of income but of independence and dignity.
Nor does protectionism offer escape from this dilemma. Shutting out China and the others deprives less well-off Americans of access to the kinds of goods once reserved for the upper classes: quality clothing, furnishings, electronics, durable goods - from the Taiwanese-manufactured smartphone to the affordable, highly functional Kia.
Globalization taketh away. But it giveth more. The net benefit of free trade has been known since, oh, 1817. (See David Ricardo and the Law of Comparative Advantage.) There is no easy parachute from reality.
Obama calls this a race to the bottom. No, it's a race to a new equilibrium that tries to maintain employment levels, albeit at the price of some modest wage decline. It is a choice not to be despised.
I have great admiration for the dignity and protections trade unionism has brought to American workers. I have no great desire to see the private-sector unions defenestrated. (Like FDR, Fiorello La Guardia and George Meany, however, I don't extend that sympathy to public-sector unions.)
But rigidity and nostalgia have a price. The industrial Midwest is littered with the resulting wreckage. Michigan most notably, where its formerly great metropolis of Detroit is reduced to boarded-up bankruptcy by its inability and unwillingness to adapt.
It's easy to understand why a state such as Michigan would seek to recover its competitiveness by emulating the success of neighboring Indiana. One can sympathize with those who pine for the union glory days, while at the same time welcoming the new realism that promises not an impossible restoration, but desperately needed - and doable - recalibration and recovery.
