It's not that we hate it, it's just that we see it's effects now. Quite frankly we can't compete with a slave wage, child labor, or sweat shops. Without being able to compete our middle class will fade. There will, of course, be other opportunities and we would eventually adjust but it's difficult to watch people fall before your eyes waiting for that change. Becoming Global is easy to say but far harder to actually do.

The fear is becoming a country where the majority are lower class and a few are making money off a global economy. I guess it just depends what you want.

We call for change yet we have no plan. That seems to be the theme of the 2000's.
We have problems, but we don't know what to do about them. Might as well just be funny.

Well, SOME certainly DO have "a plan". The plan involves the fairly-rapid elimination of "America" as a robust, independent nation-state, subsumed to the whole One World thing. (Which I prefer to call The Borg....)

It is THE question for our age.

I don't agree at all. Every issue folds into the size and scope of government. Big government or small government.

That's the liberal (and juvenile) view. So we understand.

Well yes, that's another way of wording it, I think:
The State, or The SUPER STATE (i.e. globalism).
