Re: [CPF0000] The globalization of COMMON, or is this the right direction? -- MIDRANGE-L

I've just gotta get my ultra flaming liberal, Viet era USMC 2cents worthin, and I'll go away. It seems to me that we in the US have been livingpretty unreasonably well since WWII. It's not a natural state, and it'scoming to an end. We don't have to like it, but we do need to accept it.It's not unfair for people in India, Pakistan, China or Mexico to wanttheir share. They're just looking out for themselves, same as us. Ourstandard of living, and indeed the world dominance of the US is indecline. It happened to the Greeks, Romans, Hapsburgs, Britts, and it'shappening to U.S. To paraphrase another button toking new age radical,whose name, for the life of me I can't recall at the moment, "Youshouldn't worry about how you're going to make a million dollars. Worry,instead, about how you're going to provide something worth a milliondollars. The money will take care of itself." Sounds kind of phony, andI'm not rich, but I've tried to do that, and it hasn't hurt me. I'vealso got a son-in-law who's an illegal alien, and a son whom I've knownwas gay since he was 8 years old. They're two of the hardest working,most upright and righteous people you'd ever want to meet. If we couldall be like them, the US congress wouldn't need to waste its' time onmeaningless tripe instead of tackling the real problems that confrontthe human (collective M/F implied) brotherhood. Ok, I'm going back intomy paisley palace now. Peace.
