PS. I saw the little guy on the "Glen Beck show." He is a friggen' neocon

[bluecafe22]

The little guy is arguing that farmers from poor countries - countries that have imported food foisted onto them - should simply find occupations outside of farming.

He doesn't mention that large numbers of people in these countries depend on farming for their livelihoods, and that imported food stifles these country's economies. Moreover, to say that farmers should simply find an alternative occupation is about the most ignorant thing I have ever heard!

[nb342]

Obviously this globalization "expert" has his own agenda that has nothing to do with the circumstances that yield poor, underdeveloped countries. Khan directly asks him about Haiti, but he rather talk in inaccurate generalities. The causes are not complicated, but certain people rather make it appear complicated as to push their own wealth and security.

but why do we need so much prosperity, why can't the richer be happy to stop at a certain point and reduce profit margins to a cap... why keep going and building and gaining and keeping to yourself. greed is killing people.

[ferrarithefastest]

I agree. Yet greed is human nature.
