   	Those cruel greedy rat-bastard writers!  They don't even seem   
   to be *considering* the producers' generous offer to pay nothing for   
   original content written for the Internet.  Why, there's bloggers out   
   there who are *happy* to work for $0.00 per million words, so what   
   have the Writers Guild writers to be upset about?   
      
   	We're just lucky that the entire problem is the writers making   
   unreasonable demands like ``getting paid'', and that absolutely no   
   blame or responsibility can possibly accrue to the producers for any   
   action on any of their parts ever.  If the producers were to start   
   being unreasonable weeks might go by without useful talks.
