Doofus?

I don't see hedgetrimmer "equalling" anything at all, really. I see him as more of an ephemeral or amorphous character, much like his arguments.

Hey, if you can't make an argument, redefine the terms to suit yourself. Not a "doofus" thing to do, at a fundemental level. The problem is that redefining terms in your favor is tricky . . . people might think less of the argument you're making, and simply concentrate on not blowing beer out their nose in laughter.

Prime Minister Khaleda Zia felt the Least Developed Countries should also press for measures to reduce or remove tariff escalation since it adversely affects their exports to the developed countries. About free flow of labor in the globalized world, Khaleda said a good number of the LDCs have abundant and unskilled manpower, but some barriers do not allow them to participate effectively in the globalzation of services.

"Researchers estimate that if the OECD countries open up just three per cent of their labor force to temporary workers from the LDCs, the total benefit would be between $150 and $200 billion annually.

'Some barriers' like sovereign borders and immigration laws.
