who dig up dirt on the business world by posing as
people other than themselves. |

That's very funny. They
should have gotten Michael Moore to play Mike Moore.

| There's nothing wrong with
the idea of free trade, in its original form. There is
everything wrong with what "free trade" has come to mean
- large corporations getting even more money at the
expense of third-world nations and small
businesses. |

Third world small
businesses? Most people in the third world are starving
to death. At least now they have SOME form of
employment.

Zulu, i sincerely doubt that
most people (greater than 50%) of those in the third
world are starving to death.
quote:
Malnutrition contributes to over 6 million child
deaths each year, 55 per cent of the nearly 12 million
deaths among children under five in developing
countries. Half of all children under five years of
age in South Asia and one third of those in
sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished.

it
would be preciser to say that most deaths of children in
the third world are contributed to by
malnutrition |

If a Vietnamese gets paid 5
cents an hour to grow rice or 50 an hour cents to make
nike shoes what is better for him ?
Sorry but dont
act like the 3rd world gets nothing out of
this. |

| But they don't get 50 cents
an hour for making shoes. They get 5 cents, just like
they do for growing rice (which actually isn't
hourly-based, but that's beside the
point). |

| If they get paid the same
amount of money to grow rice as to make shoes then why
do they do it ? |
