In 1966, the Transit Workers Union went on strike, shutting down New York City transit for twelve days. The leader of the union at the time was Michael J. Quill; when sent to jail, he famously remarked, in his Irish brogue, "The judge can drop dead in his black robes!"
Days after the strike ended, it was Quill who dropped dead. My father, in his wisdom, attributes his death to the accumulated curses of angry New Yorkers.
Roger Toussaint, to quote Patrick Henry, should profit from Quill's example.

Dr. Lamm, I could not agree with you more. Very well put. Toussaint should rest with the fish. He is nothing but an animal who craves attention buy provoking agitation. How many people do you know have the amazing benefits that the MTA lavishes on its employyes? I sure as hell don't. I work 8-9 hours/day, get a paycheck, no healthcare, no pension, no sick days, no benefits and and have to shlep on the subays an hour each way. No pension, health care, early retirement for me. And unlike these ungrateful (negro) animals, I havre to answer to a boss. They have it good already already and yet they want more! Ungrateful bastards.
Well, I wouldn't quite put it that way...
