It is no accident that WalMart doubled it's market share in the 90s. They are from Bentonville Arkansas, a suburb of Little Rock. Aren't republicans FOR free trade? Or is that with certain qualifiers? I guess about as much as all democrats are for socialism... Oh, so your NOT for free trade? Not when it means the farce called "free trade" we have now... but that is another story.. I really have not been able to keep up lately, I get to read maybe 20 posts a day with the rainy racing season and all... We have to get ready for a two day up in Maine this weekend, honestly, I really don't care much for this kind of camping, too much work... |

I don't know, I have never seen free trade. As long as the government puts burdens on corporations that are not put on in other countries trade is not "free". I understand why we do it but I am also not confused that it puts a thumb on the scale. The only question is if our attempts to put safety nets under workers and saving the planet will end up bankrupting the country. If the dollar collapses we will lose all of that protection along with life as we know it. Socialism and environmentalism are rich man's games. Yeah, we shouldn't want a toxic free place for our kids to grow up, huh? We should have just let the chemical factories in Niagara Falls spew crap into the Love Canal where the cancer rates and birth deformities were much higher than usual. |

Nobody is saying we should kill our kids, the problem is the rules we enforce on our companies and do not require the same for exports to the US. And Love Canal is a very bad example to use. It was a toxic waste dump, that had been sealed over, etc. The City Fathers had taken over the land and against the advice of the chemical company, sold it to developers. Was the politicians making money that cause the disaster in the end. |

No the excessive problems in the aftermath of a disaster is caused by the politicians. One of the ongoing joys of rec.boats: the never-ending attempts by the righties to rationalize and justify corporate behavior, no matter what horrors it might inflict upon the public. I'm sure there are rightie posters here who see nothing wrong with corporations dumping dangerous chemicals in the water supply. After all, it's profit uber alles . -- Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |
