The words I chose were "liberal-minded" and "workers". The author talks about a lot of "liberal" points of view throughout the article but only uses the word "liberal-minded" near the end when contrasting with the other side of the argument.

These words are woven throughout the entire article, workers more than liberal-minded. Liberal-minded in woven in indirectly but it is still an important college of thought carried out in this issue.

The basic thesis found in the article is this:
