I say we give him the chair.
The original is here, and DiCello apparently stole it.

I, Q.P. Merchison, do solemnly swear that I gave Jeff DiCello permission to appropriate my comments from Patio Pundit denouncing the evil Jill Stewart.
Are you an agent or employee of the CCPOA or one of its contractors or representatives, Mr. Merchison?
Jill doesn’t say CO’s are stupid, she says, correctly, that they’re uneducated. Many of us feel that teachers should be better paid than CO’s, but apparently you disagree.
Yes, teachers should be paid more, but correctional officers should also be paid fairly to compensate them for the challenging, stressful and dangerous jobs they do. Not all correctional officers are uneducated, Mr. Bennett, you would be surprised. Actually, Jill’s point has more to do with her belief that C.O.s should not have as much power as they apparently do in their relationship with their employer, the state of California, because they are not as highly educated a group as others. That is elitist thinking.
Judging by the things that have come to the surface in various investigations of the California prison system, the CCPOA’s members are not actually doing the job the people pay them to do. Arranging rapes falls outside the job description, I’ll have you know.
You’re confusing the issues, Richard. Of course the few who have abused inmates are wrong and should be in jail themselves. My problem is with Stewart’s implication that the CCPOAS’a use of its bargaining power with the state is not merited because most of its membership does not have a college degree.
