We need to start taking better care of our children. they are not getting enough to eat, or clean water to drink, or health care. No these are not either intractable problems that nobody can do anything about. We could very easily deliver all these things to all the children in the world. If we wanted to. If we had enough integrity to take care of who needs it. The richest country in the world, the U.S., lavishes all its money on war, as we know too well. What's left over goes to the fabulously rich. Businessmen talk about free trade. What that means is deals that take from the poor countries to the advantage of rich countries. The flow of all the precious rsources of Africa and Asia and Latin America to the powerful capital empire of the westrn world.
And that's why our children starve. Beacuse it's profitable for those businessmen. It doesn't have to be that way. All that money can go the other way, from the rich countries to the poor countries. That's the way it should be.  ¶ 4:40 PM

  we don't want free trade cause it's not free. What it is is it means fabulously wealthy megacorporations from rich countries take over and control what people in poor countries can do. Or can't. when some country is flat broke, they need to borrow money, from where it is, in the very rich countries banks. With the loan come instructions what these countries need to do. They need to, privatize anything that isn't. That means money that country could be making from whatever it is will be handing over this profitable enterprise to a very rich multinational corporation. Does this help? it does not. It impoverishes poor people while enriching companies that have way too much money now. So money continues to flow backwards, from the poor to the rich. And it keeps getting worse. Africa, in case you didn't know has got a horrendous AIDS epdemic. They have figured out how to make the drugs they need. But they can't use them because they are patented by big pharma, and big pharma can't hear you talking when you say "Let's try to sve some lives" They can hear "profits", and "more more more money for us". But even when you show them pictures of those pitiful AIDS orphans, or a mom who is hopelessly dying, and can't get any drugs they don't care about them either.

Here's an easy way to remember what this is about. When they say "free trade" you need to translate that as what it is: "Imperial domination" Then at least you will understand why we are in revolt against it.  ¶ 6:58 PM
