This afternoon I came home to find the May 2016 issue of Plumbing & Mechanical in my mailbox as I have for the past 18+ years. It is something I always look forward to — from the great articles about how to design heating systems to handle any situation, to articles about how to run a better and profitable business, to Dan Holohan and his unique way of teaching us anything (he will be missed on the speaking circuit). However, this month there was something different.
I was offended when I read “The Beschloss Perspective” column (“Union membership declining”), where Morris Beschloss decided it would be OK to sound off on his political viewpoints. It felt as if I was listening to Donald Trump trying to tell me “what is wrong with this country” by spewing out hatred, mistruths and outright lies. Personally, I think this country is already great. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a supporter of the Democratic candidate, but I feel as though Mr. Beschloss went over the line.
