You know, as a child I was taught never, NEVER to cross a picket line. I was taught this lesson very young, and for quite a while I actually thought you would be in physical danger if you crossed that line, that the people were out there to warn unwary shoppers and protect them from whatever scary thing was in that store. To this day, when I see a picket line in front of a grocery store I get an image of rampaging ghoulies in the ice cream aisle.

And those, yoda, are the Real Facts. At least about my life, they are.
