Well, I feel that was a balanced informative view on free trade.

Free trade= cheaper bras= more clothes

And I'm so dense I love it already!

I had an interesting experience over Christmas. I bought myself a Canon digital camera (Made in Japan). After using it a bit, I wanted to buy a 512KB memory card. The clerk in the photo store immediately sold me one. (Made in China) I noticed where it was made and said that I would prefer a Canon one. He said that the Chinese one was better and much faster than the Canon one. (He had both of them in stock)

I stumbled out of the store with the thought in my mind that the ChiComs now have MIRVed ICBMs pointed at us with electronics better that those of Japan.

Free trade isn't "free" for the women of Communist China, who still experience forced abortions, visits from the "pregnancy police," forced insertion of IUDs, and make up at least some of the slave labor of the lagoi prison camps (many for the "crime" of being Christian.)

Too bad the "Independent Women's Forum" is only for independence for *American* women saving a few bucks on ChiCom goods.
