Late comment, but I loved Klosterman's review of Chinese Democracy. I was far more impressed than I thought I'd be, but I still don't know if I like it. I feel like he had a similar reaction.

And thanks for explaining the union stuff. I worked in a hospital for a couple of years and I saw similar things in terms of nurses being asked to do things that were clearly outside their purview. I think it's awesome that you're an activist for your peers.
