  1. Just because there are people in a worse position it doesn't make the DHB workers situation any better. Thats much like saying child poverty isn't a problem in the UK, just because there are children in the 3rd world who are in a worse state.
  
  2. Strikes if nothing else raise awareness of a situtation and show that people can stand together against something they see as being unfair. They are also expressing a 'principled' objection to the way in which they are being treated. The difference is that theirs is a shared principle against the greed of DHB. This shared belief is far more powerful than a personal principle, after all this is the basis of morality, democracy and essentially law.
  
  It is impossible to say that a socialised system destroys jobs and properity, it simply isn't true...look at China. An over socialised system does limit social mobility but as I said what does that matter when you live in a class ridden country anyway. 'You can have it if you really want' simply isn't true, we're all products of determinism.
  
  As for your house in France even if it is your father in laws, I can only say that I'm a little jealous (another nasty element of the human condition)
