You're engaging in the same logical fallacy that all globalists seem to fall into on these threads, constructing a false dilemma. You're saying its either globalism or more government regulation. In fact, those are not the only choices.

I've debated on so many of these threads that I'm very weary of running through the same arguments again and again in detail. Let me say that the answer lies in understanding simple concepts, like maybe a little less greed all around would be a good thing, that it isn't in our interest to sell out the country for short-term gain, or ruin your neighbor by selling out his career and family in the marketplace for thirty pieces of silver, or enabling countries who don't have our interests at heart to gain advantage in technology by giving that technology that we developed away. IOW, a little more enlightened capitalism, rather than voracious, unrestrained, destructive greed, is a better alternative.

Well, that's all great in theory -- but, the Chinese are not going to my same Sunday School class.

I agree with your desire for peace, love and help thy brother in the world theme.

Now, give me some real, concrete examples of what you would do.

What do you want to do to keep blue collar jobs in America ??

Do you think its reasonable a UAW floor sweeper makes about $30/hour plus benefits - is that the way to keep jobs in America ??

Maybe we should nationalize American industry, and the government can pass out workfare jobs the same way they do now in the public sector. I'm not being glib, some have offered that alternative as a workable alternative.
