I would LOVE to analyze something for you Jay. Was it your equation of unions to communism? Well, I think you're wrong to make that equation. But maybe I have a different definition than you have of what exactly a union is (or rather, what an optimal union is). KK pointed out that unions can exist outside of communism. Would you agree? Or are they ,in your eyes, little communist sleeper cells? "I would LOVE to analyze something for you Jay. Was it your equation of unions to communism? Well, I think you're wrong to make that equation." Since I've never equated the two, this is a curious statement. Why did the Communist party in China - and virtually every other communist state - outlaw unions? Conversely, why was George Meany* a strident anti-communist? *Help. I can see Porter's response now... snide "UR SO SMART" with an attempt at humor which falls as flat as his "argument".

hell yeah! eat crap, drivers!

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever." I'm outing you as a buddhist right now! \ pssst. it's Orwell. Thanks! Now I really think you're smart! gee, I could have said I think you're really dumb after every one of your clueless points, but refrained.

It's time for you to visit Room 101, Winston.

Well, you go on with your bad self and "unionize" the ChiComms, smart guy. If i knew a way...except I could call it making China a Democracy. My ideal of a union is not some communist mechanism, but rather people coming together and standing up for all people. I know that unions here in the States haven't exactly performed as such all the time, but they have had their moments in history...not unlike a nation coming together to elect a president. Some Chinese people tried to come together and stand up for all the people. The outcome was not so good. I'm sure attempts to stand up and unionize would fare better though. I see you have gotten on JayB's Bus of Pessimism. Come now, join hands and sing "We are the World" with me. Pessimism? It's called observation and noting the results. I was quite optimistic when the statue of freedom was erected, and the student shouted down that tank. That optimism was squashed pretty quickly and completely. Unions in China =

CLEARLY IT IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT. AND CHENEY TOO.

no shit? really? golly. I would have pointed that out even more explicitly for porter but he already was so mean, calling me "worldly" in such a sarcastic tone, and saying I don't know how China "conducts business" and all. I am sure YOU can explain it all to Porter though, since you vote and think like him and must be much smarter, and can help him in his crusade to unionize China.

but did it swallow?

You just said you weren't clueless then you proved otherwise. 1) China is a communist country, not a capitalist one. Your arguments above (to which I responded directly) were talking about the "next step of capitalism" or some such crap. Pull your head out of your American-centric butt. 2) Unions can exist in a free country, like the United States, but not in Red China. Again, head, pull-out. Thx.

Newsflash: China, the number one country for manufacturing cheap shit with dirt-cheap labor, is a communist country. Capitalism? Unions? Are you joking? Does Tiananmen mean anything to you?

it depends what the meaning of the word "IS" is.

if we are sweat-shop-loving exploiters than you are a clueless idealist (best case) or a heartless protectionist.

Easy...it comes by transfering some of profit from the 1st world. In case you didn't know, many products you pay 10 dollars for only cost 1 dollar to make. So where is the other 9 dollars going Jay? One result of your proposal is that the jobs will stay here, which is just fine by me. But you will not be helping the folks you claim to care about. They'll be out of a job, and SOL.

V7 is nuts by any standard.

Fight whom? They'll be fired and someone else will be hired in their place. Or they'll have the crap beat out of them, or whatever.

Damn straight. I'm rigged with guns and a serious package.
