We're going to lower our trade deficit by ending NAFTA and the WTO and going back to trade based on worker's rights."

Even Kos is a drag, like many of these "so-called" Left blogs, when it comes to focusing on what is in front of us.<BR/>citizen carrie, the only way around this impending socio-economic trainwreck is a cultural revolution and ironically, youtube is the vehicle that is controlled by Google, the latest "great evildoer" with power over what is being broadcast to people in my age group (they target students and young adults)- a bit cultish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22563831.post-85907838704923617542007-07-24T11:19:00.000-07:002007-07-24T11:19:00.000-07:00Lots to consider in this post.
