A week ago I was in a big argument with a Canadian buddy of mine that's been living in Ecuador for the past 30 years and was up in Panama visiting me. He'd just gotten a call offering him more work as translator for CAFTA negotiators in Ecuador (the pay is good enough) and he says the Americans are bad because they get these treaties where the poor third world country looses jobs to the rich Americans.
I swear by all that's holy, I did not make this up.
