Now with the passing of Milton Friedman can we put the emphasis on where it belongs please?

I went to the Grand Theatre [here in Tacoma, Washington] today to see The Queen.   There was a guy there with an anti WTO shirt on... and a lot of other interesting types.  Then I saw the people working there, and noticed a sign for 'volunteers'... to work at the Grand Theatre.  Now it that had a been a corporation asking for 'volunteers' it would have been perceived as "very bad" I'm certain.  But since it was the local liberal cinema it was okay.  Like it's okay if the elitists control things and throw a few bones to the poor and middle class.  It's even okay if they are rich.  Who gets the money at the Grand Theatre when the employees volunteer?  The media enterprises producing the pictures?  Very well heeled from what I could read... and the stars are well set and rich I would think.  Most all of them anyway - very famous ones most.

Now lets look at the other side of the coin - where the other side "lives".  I have said for a long time in my newsletters, etc. that we should [and very well could have] set up trade oversight committes or some such to be sure laborers were taken care of properly - and we might actually see the result of the coming together of ideologies instead of Chinese military factories producing so much behind completely closed doors - with full intent upon destroying what we stand for and anything even related to our ideals as a nation.

NO - instead they riotagainst WTO, and provide only stringent trade deals with no sanctions related to what they should be related to. 

The labor movement was something that may well have saved us from a tyranny similar to the proletariat movement in the Soviet Union.  Free market enterprise that has gotten too big and out of hand, in bed with the same kind and similar managing as the corporations - just as the two major parties have .... and too cozy with corporate lobbyists - running too much now for far too long.

Both parties and both sides would rather lob their stones at each other - not get along, close each other out, and offer only extreme solutions rather than work together and compromise. 

It's time for change.                         NT71           Tacoma, WA            email at niktesla.com
