Should we then tolerate violence towards us, or is the government to step in only then, when there are victims to show, just so the exploited can express themselves freely?<br /><br />Don't we all reap benefits from being a reliable and efficient hub for investors, local and foreign alike? Don't we all love our international brands and products? Doesn't the money from foreign investors partially go into building infrastructure for public use? <br /><br />I could not begin to list the benefits of living in a country with no strikes.
