I went to a dinner-lecture with Maggie Thatcher speaking.... It was part of a political lecture series that was really cool. Colin Powell was part of the same series.

Maggie Thatcher talked about free trade, and favored no trade restrictions at all between countries. She said that if we let the people of China and the former Soviet Union watch the Cosby Show, they would not remain content with their current conditions very long and would fight for their own change.

A horrid summary of course, but her point was socialism would not look attractive if we let our stuff in and let folk have a taste of the good life. I remember he being a fabulous speaker, with great presence in the room.
