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.

I'm not talking about the Chinese. I'm talking about me and thee. Greed begins at home. Destructive greed, greed for greed's sake, the pursuit of profit at all costs, even at the expense of one's brother or mother and the country one lives in, destroys everyone it touches as surely as any threat of socialism or communism.

Like I said, less greed all around would be a step in the right direction.

Again the false dilemma, raising the bogeyman of "government interference", the bugbear of globalist apologists everywhere. Well, of course, under other alternatives, there is no need for it. Try a little less greed. You'd be surprised how it helps cure what ails the sick soul.
