Thread Name: BS: WTO
Subject: RE: BS: WTO
To report the good among the bad now, There have been some protesters doing nothing all day except washing graffiti and picking up the trash for the cans which were knocked over. Though they were probably mostly locals who did that, I am happy to see people saying with action rather than just words alone that they did not intend for that.

I for one believe jobs should be spread all over the world, but not sweat shops paying 10 cents hour. The WTO is allowing horible things to happen and really should be stopped. But when you weigh the cause and the affect here, I doubt it will make a huge difference. I will apologize to everyone if this does end sweat shop labor in 3rd world countries.

Al, I think you're taking my words to the extreme here. "with no hope for survival" I didn't say anything like that. So this aint like the LA riots or the night Harlem burnt down, but it Doesn't have to be like this! There has to be a better way then all this!

To close, I'm not saying "we have no hope, lets all give in." I'm trying to say that I'm sure there is a better way than this! As Tom Goodkind and the Washington Squares said "It takes courage, it takes care. It's time to let out a loving to share! It's time to fight a good fight! We won't get rich but you know that's all right! And we won't stop till freedom rings... All over the world!"
