Would you like to actually address anything I said? So far you have not addressed anything I said, and THAT fact is certainly black and white. ;)

Two things, I am no conservative right-winger, I am "right" in the sense that I support reason, rights and capitalism.(and western culture with its beginnings in Aristotle) Second, to say that I see things in black & white is a complement to me. :) I do not follow the philosophy of Plato in which it tries to make reality out to be an ambiguous mess. > Ever consider that *real* *pressure* on the corporations is *often* the > only way to make them treat employees (incrementally) better? Why would you even entertain the thought that I would support, or be complacent to, corps in mistreating employees? Straw man. I support free, non-coersive SOCIAL pressures in making changes in employment practices.(among other things) Unions are a good example of that type of pressure. Just because I support capitalism doesn't mean I look the other way in business practices. ;) > Nobody is ultimately interested in shutting down companies, nor do they > want "marxism". I honestly think you are mistaken. In this case the matter is not necessarily to shut down companies but regulating free trade. The article is clearly against the setting up of business internationally and in poor countries, which is a concrete aspect of capitalism. To oppose that type of practice and then use the term "grass roots capitalism" is a capitulation in the least. >Try to *see* both sides for a change.

You assume I cannot see the "other side". There is no evidence supporting this statement, it is arbitrary and therefore cannot even be entertained. The only reason there is even any "pulling" going on is because our mixed economy allows both sides to gain and lose momentary political power over one other. Compromise and "push-pull" are necessary only because people think those are the only options. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
