    Comment: A blogger named Edson writes "Did the word Democrat really come from democracy?"

    Here is a derivation of the words "Democrat" and "Republican."

    The United States of America is a republic, that is to say, a Federal government in which the people are represented by elected officials from the various states. Before we were a republic, we were a democracy made up of 13 individual states that were not united. A democracy is a form of government where the individual citizens have the right to speak their minds and influence the political discourse. Democracy was named after Demosthenes, a citizen of ancient Greece with a speech impediment who practiced talking with his mouth full of pebbles to overcome his disability. Demosthenes later became a great political orator. This is where the Democrats derive their name.

    The original Republicans were in favor of the states joining to form a republic (which is how that party got it's name). The original Democrats were opposed to this idea, they represented the individual states and were worried that the republic could gain too much power over the states, and through the exercise of tyranny, deny individuals their freedom. Trust me, people were pretty passionate about their liberty in those days, having just fought for independence from England. The Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were all hammered out by serious-minded men who sought to balance the need for individual freedom with our shared common cause, the needs for united strength and social order. Balancing the rights of the individual against the rights of the whole society is what America is all about. This is not only a great achievement for our nation, it is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. And we have, by and large, been true to our ideals over the past 227 years. The system of government we initially established, although needing occasional revisions, has stood the test of time.

    Let's not forget where we started from, that impulse towards equality and freedom.

    America is, with all it's faults, a meritocracy. Most of our founding fathers would never have had a voice in the 18th century English government they rebelled against, a monarchy where you had to be born into power. In America it was different. If you had intelligence, passion, ambition, drive, talent and a little luck, you could change the world.

    This is the real secret to Obama's popularity, his ability to touch this archetype in our souls. This is why a white, conservative middle-aged female Republican like me wants to vote for him. He's got that blend of intelligence, passion, ambition, drive and talent. I'm giving him my vote to proffer him the last ingredient, a little luck, so I can watch our Republican Democracy in action, and once again change the world.

    IN GOD WE TRUST

    Comment: No matter what these so called "reliable sources" say, the American People will not go down without a fight!! Even if Ron Paul does not get nomination, more and more people are becoming aware of the ever growing control of the federal government and I for one will not be a part of a nation where its citizens are enslaved. People of the United States it is time to take hold of our Second Amendment and take back our nation by force. I will not fight for a war of OIL but I will give my life in defending this nation from the real terrorists "THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT".

    Comment: Goto SPP.gov see for yourself. The Government's own website with the layed out details of the North American Union. The CFR Counsel of Foreign Relations are negotiating the merge. Secondly last year at the Canada Builderberg meeting it was the main discussion. The NAFTA superhighway is real Mr Miller. and Last but not least get this through your head.. RON PAUL IS NOT DROPPING OUT OF THE RACE. You are Posting false information. Newsweek is just as bad at posting fake Ron Paul info just Like Fox, and MSNBC cause you don't want people to know Dr. Ron Paul is the only true Candidate who's never flip flopped.

  • Posted By: GuitarFreakStyle @ 02/26/2008 2:17:52 AM

    Comment: Mr Joe MIller, Dr Ron Paul has NEVER EVER said he will drop from the race. Don't publish false information.
    The NAFTA superhighway is real and in progress as we speak. go to "SPP.gov" the Government's own website lays out the details of the North American Union. Further more Mr Joe Miller the CFR counsel on Foreign Relations is working on the Union. And Yes Mr Miller the same CFR that formed the European Union and the now forming African Union and soon to be Asian Union.

    Comment: Lies Lies and more lies ask the Citizens of Texas who are fighting to hold on to their land, which is to be used for the super high way, but don't take my word for it all Ron Paul wants is well informed Americans who vote based on facts and knowledge not propaganda by main stream media like the people who are behind this farce liars and traitors f-you America is our country and you will not take it from us with out a fight

    Comment: This is yet another smear article on Ron Paul. What it doesn't mention is that Ron Paul was ahead of Giuliani in almost every primary before Giuliani dropped out. It also doesn't mention that he beat John McCain in several states. I used to read Newsweek but now realize that it is not worthy of my time. I suggest we all just ignore Newsweek just like it does to candidates that don't represent special interests.

  • Posted By: smurphy1400 @ 02/24/2008 8:22:15 PM

    Comment: Joe, I haven't read your column before and I probably won't again. Do you bother to leave your office to check "the facts"? The "NAFTA Superhighway" is not a myth. As anyone in the dozens of Texas towns who have attended the poorly publicized town hall meetings about this highway. Ask the Texas Department of Roads & Highways or whatever they call themselves down there. It's real, it's happening and it is going to be a disaster for the sovereignty(sp?) and security of this nation. I'll have to hold my nose and vote for McCain, since the two Dem candidates care nothing for our country and the institutions and attitudes that made us the greatest country in the history of the world.

    Comment: Poor Joe! You really can???t blame him.

    He has gone through the complete brainwashing cycle beginning in pre-school all the way to this point in his life. As have a majority of Americans.

    I really am saddened the path this country is headed toward. We have millions of misguided Joe Millers waiting in the wings and it spells doom for this country.

    The only option we have is to awaken these people out of their brain induced comas and spread the word of truth to as many of these lost souls as possible.

    Truth is not what is prevalent in the world today but lies, lies and more lies.

    Satan the king of liars has taken over this world through the global elites as well as people in high places in government.

    The deck is stacked against us but in the end the truth will prevail over evil and lies.

    The following speech by JFK speaks volumes. Please read it 10 times and after that read it 10 more times.

    ???For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
    Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.???

    Comment: The NAFTA superhighway Ron Paul refers to IS the TTC. So what if you want to think he is talking about something different, thats the term Ron and Lou Dobbs, and countless other individuals are using to describe the TTC, no matter who has called the other roads what in the past. Look up lou dobbs ron paul from 2/19 (yesterday) for a clip where Lou Dobbs calls the TTC the NAFTA superhighway, and expresses concern about the north american union. It says at the bottom, on CNN, "United States of N. America?". So get your facts straight "factcheckers".

    Also have you actually READ the SPP? Trust me, read it, you;ll change your views in a hurry. This is real and happening in plain sight.

    Comment: I created an account....due to two articles. After I make this post I will cancel my subscription and never log in to the Newsweek site again.
    The first was "The End of Conservatism" and the Second is this one. The media...is just that now, media...a way to convey personal, unsubstantiated, opinions. They are no longer news in my eyes, on any level.
    The treatment of Ron Paul during this campaign.....has made me decide to fly the American Flag in front of my house upside down. Because this country needs to be rescued. By God I will write Ron Paul in if his name is not on my ballot. Their is only one thing left to say.....

  • Posted By: cduff83 @ 02/20/2008 5:12:52 PM

    Comment: Wow. Joe- thanks for the enlightenment, but your facts are wrong. Ron Paul is teaching the truth; most Americans don't want the truth and are brainwashed by those select few in control. Paul, probably won't win because he teaches and will continue to teach the truth, that which most think is "quacky," though it's not. Think what you want but Paul is the only candidate that will do something and addresses the threats our country actually has coming in the future and present day. For Paul it's not about his agenda or power, like the rest, it's about helping the American people "wake up." This country will only get worse without Paul's revolution coming forth.

  • Posted By: cduff83 @ 02/20/2008 5:04:34 PM

    Comment: Wow. Thanks Joe Miller for your enlightenment on this issue. I am glad to know that, again, there is someone who doesn't want to know the truth and is brainwashed like the rest of America. Your facts are wrong, do some research and you'll clearly see Ron Paul is right and teaches the truth about NAFTA and the super highway. This country is controlled by a select few who don't want to empower Ron Paul for he would actually do something for change, unlike the rest of the candidates. Those who seek the truth will realize Paul is right and so are his facts.

    Comment: If what the American people are trying to say by voting for, a "party" or a "person" is that they've been duped by the media to believe that's all that our country stands for, then we may fall as Rome did so many years ago. So, I guess what you're really saying Joe is the American public can just ignore the signs of our times in what the government nationally and locally are doing. Just keep watching Monday Night Football and listening to your IPOD, etc., etc and pay no attention to the fact that you'll have to show your new driver's license (national ID card) at the border between our "United States" to go on vacation or see the folks back home. Pay no attention to states petitioning to secede from our "Union" or our domestic banks allying with foreign banks for "hand-outs" and help with our credit crash (see Bank of America and Citibank's latest moves). Pay no attention to the fact that the "War on Drugs" hasn't been won in over 30 years here at home...AND WE WERE ONCE TOUTED A SUPERpower. No Joe, I'm not swallowing your pill of opinion either. The American people are NOT STUPID, we may be mentally lazy at times, but while we're playing we've still got one ear cocked and we're listening. As long as Ron Paul is speaking and working on OUR behalf, we'll be listening.

    Thank you.

    Comment: This article is GREAT...you really had to take your time with this, didn't you? But hey, Joe, you may want to pick up a copy of the "Four Arguments Against Watching Television" before you begin refuting a seasoned politician who's reputation in Washington precedes him as an honest man whose integrity in defending the American people by holding up the U.S. Constitution in their defense is second to none.

    I believe you're watching way too much FOX, MSNBC, NY/LA Times or Warner-owned anything, etc. Perhaps you could pay a little attention to Ron Paul's many statements in Congress about our foreign policies since the 1980's. He's not trying to paint a paranoid picture of the American future, he's simply pointing out the obvious conclusion to a very well laid plan (again, see Congressional recorded statements, bills introduced, laws passed, etc.) that the American people seem to have had nothing to do with in the way of representation. But, it does appear, that our "representatives" in Congress do not reflect the people's popular view as is evidenced over and over in our resentment of not only our government's involvement in THIS war, but in many, many wars from our very recent past. It appears that not only our "representatives," but you, Joe are not learning from our history of mistakes.

    Ask our veterans or the mother's of our slain Americans how they feel about unilateral decision-making on the part of our President to commit aggression around the globe. THERE will be a body of information you can use in your next article about who's defending our interests at home and globally. The only candidate currently in opposition to the idea of solving our conflicts with "first aggression, then democracy" is Ron Paul. The only candidate who's even remotely interested in solving our domestic problems (i.e., the AMERICAN currency issue, the AMERICAN economic issues, the AMERICAN soverignty issues...and the beat goes on...) which will serve to benefit ALL AMERICANS (not just women, people of color, race, age, educational and social differences) and steer our country away from it???s path to demise, with the breastplate of the U.S. Constitution against all those who would threaten us, is Ron Paul. Whether the threat be from without or within, Ron Paul has pledged to use the U.S. Constitution as his guide for America. Our Constitution is a tried and true document that, if followed, ensures the freedom and liberties for ALL American citizens. America once stood strong in the face of it???s allies and enemies because of our willingness to hold up the U.S. Constitution against tyranny and oppression. The issues of social welfare and healthcare, our economy, education, public services, immigration, ecology and foreign policy are all addressed within the words of the U.S. Constitution.

    To be continued...(just because)

    Ron Paul On Lou Dobbs About NAU Super Highway Feb.19.2008

  • Posted By: Bonhoeffer Devotee @ 02/20/2008 12:04:17 AM

    Comment: redd_green, thanks for the feedback. I believe I may not have communicated my point. I believe that Mr. Dobbs, at least in his most recent iterations, seems to share many of your viewpoints. What I don't know is how pure are his motives? Many of his peers in the press seem to think it is purely for ratings www.nytimes.com/2007/05/30/business/30leonhardt.html

    The question I had for Mr. Miller is what his opinion of Mr. Dobbs is. From my limited perspective I do believe the Ron Paul (and his supporters) seems to either be marginalized or worse, made to be raving lunatics. Mr. Dobbs seems to be rather lucid and I doubt CNN would continue to employ him if he wasn't profitable. That said, a couple of conclusions (not exhaustive of course...) 1. Either Mr. Dobbs is just pandering to those who would agree with Ron Paul???s views for increased ratings/book profits, 2. He is (in Mr. Millers view) just plain wrong/crazy like Ron Paul, or 3. Maybe there are elements of truth here that need further investigation.

    Sorry to use the old C.S. Lewis trilemma "Liar, lunatic or Lord" there! :) I am NOT trying to say that Ron Paul is deity!!! LOL :) Cheers!

    Comment: Question for Mr.Joe Miiler: What do you make of your colleague Lou Dobbs over at CNN? He/CNN, posed a germane question on their live19 FEB 2008 election night coverage (as well as on their website http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/) ---
    "Quick Vote
    Do you believe the presidential candidates in both parties should be required to take a position on the North American Union and the NAFTA Superhighway?
    Yes 97% 7649
    No 3% 201
    Total Votes: 7850

    This is not a scientific poll"

    Is this just shameless promotion of his new book and exploitation of the Ron Paul supporters' seemingly deep pockets? Or is he too wrong on his elucidations on NAFTA, a "super highway." and national sovereignty?

    Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.

    Comment: These comments are amazingly silly and actually quite scary. One has Michigan losing jobs to "NAFTA", which is a trade agreement -- what is that supposed to mean? People quit jobs in Michigan and go to work for an agreement? Another states that because a Spanish company is building a road and will collect the tolls to pay for it (and evenutally make a profit, which is what companies exist to do), it will be under foreign "control" -- as if they will have the right to operate that road under and laws other than those of the USA and the state of Texas. Another says that the Texas highway will "connect Mexico with Canada" -- I know Texas is big, but ... seriously???

    Comment: You know, I am frustrated with the coverage of Ron Paul. Why is everyone concerned about Ron Paul's support of the Constitution? Is it because they believe that humans can't make smart individual decisions? Do they believe that Big Brother knows best? That immigrants should be banned from coming to this country? Ron Paul believes in increased trade with all countries around the world. He believes in increased immigration with secured borders. He believes that most of the trade imbalance would be repaired by bringing all of our troops home. He would then use these same troops to secure our borders. He would increase immigrant quotas and simplify immigrant applications. These stands are Un-American? They are isolationist? They are Anti-American? Not from My point of view.

    "the company has over 35 years' experience and presently manages 23 toll highways in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Chile, Canada and USA with more than 2,800 kilometres, and a total investment over 16.5 billion euro. In the United States, Cintra is strategic partner of the State of Texas in the design and planning of the Trans-Texas Corridor one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the country.

    Comment: I am resident of the state of Texas and not a Ron Paul supporter. However you are dead wrong about the so called "Super Highway". Just type in a web search on the Trans Texas Corridor or TTC-69 or Trans Texas Corridor I-69 (TTC 69) and see what comes up. This is a monstrosity. It is a slap in the face to the people of Texas. What a lovely thing our governor has done for us. BTW you can also check the website impeachperry.indytexans.org/ and read more about this monster and the creep that is trying to shove it down our throats.

    Comment: I have read Ron Paul's articles for many years. I think he would be a great president. His platform is the US Constitiution, as it was intended by the guys who wrote it. He has always tried to work for the American taxpayer, instead of the globalist special interests. He is a true patriotic leader. Here in Michigan we are losing many factories and jobs to NAFTA and other predatory free-trade deals. We need leaders who will actually work for the American taxpayer and comply with our Constitution.

  • Posted By: smallbizguy @ 02/18/2008 5:12:27 PM

    Comment: Ron Paul has written many articles over the years. They turn out to be factual in his predictions and his objections to the globalists actions like the no-win wars and NAFTA. Here in Michigan, we have lost many factories and tens of thousands of jobs to NAFTA and Red China. Paul is the only one trying to help fix the problem.

    Comment: The Trans-Tx Corridor (TTC) that you spoke of is the start of super toll road in which Tx does not need to unit Mexico with Canada. Texas is in the first stages of taking away homes, land, and businesses from Texans. Gov. Perry tried to pass this mutli billion dollar expansion - which a company partially owned in spain is doing the work.

    Comment: Why do I costantly see the media poking fun at Ron Paul instead of pursuing the issues in our country that prompted Americans to donate amazing sums of their own money hoping for a real change. I certainly would not donate 1 penney for this article.

    Comment: I would like the Author of this article to show some better circumstantial evidence that Ron Paul's claims are wrong. As far as I am concerned he has shown more factual evidence supporting his claims than you (the author of this post) has. Being familiar with debate and in support of an argument, show us, the reader something more than just rhetoric. Thank you.

    Comment: George Orwell, when writing 1984, selected that date to commence the 100 year anniversary of the fabian society, a group of interventionist socialists who despised individualism. Orwell thought this group was vile and sought only power. They were named after a Roman general, whose strategy was to slowly wear down his opponent through incremental victories.
    On wikipedia look up the Fabian society.
    Then, on wikipedia, look up David Rockefeller.
    We're in a lot of trouble.

    Comment: i like most of what Ron Paul has to say but i think he would kill this country if he got elected, he would try to do to much to fast, it is one thing to know whats going on and another to know how to fix it, I think he is smart but don't think he would be the rite man to run this country. With that said i would rather him run it than that guy named Hilary

      Comment: Just so you know . . . Congressman Paul has transition programs for all that he wishes to accomplish, i.e., our troops withdraw in an orderly fashion and he would not suddenly put an end to welfare and social security. He has stated that would not be compassionate or practical. Also, don't forget that there are many things that he could not accomplish quickly or perhaps not at all because congress would have to approve much. However, he would certainly be a step in the right direction.

    Comment: This article is utter nonsense. Ron Paul in debates agreed with George Bush in 2000 when he stated he he would not police the world and that he would focus on having a balanced budget, and of course lambastes Bush at the same time for being fiscally irresponsible! Couldn't a man change his mind when he sees the stupidity of later flawed agenda's. Especially when Ronald Reagan was surrounded by globalists such as Henry Kissinger that screwed this country all to hell advising Reagan, Reagan started out a great leader but with old age and Alzheimer's, apparently lost Ron Paul there in the later years, but still recognizes the achievements early in his administration. This person writing this article has obviously been schooled by CFR members on spinning and distorting. He has very little to work with in criticizing Ron Paul, in other words......weak argument!

    Comment: Wow! This from a magazine as large and "respected" as Newsweek? Some call this the dragon stage of an empire: When the snakes become powerful, sprout legs, and no longer need to sneak and slither around - in this case, a medium that doesn't even bother pretending not to be biased.

    Comment: "Newsweek evidently doesn't like to be confused by the facts. The article is obviously misguided or the author is just uninformed on the issue. Unfortunately, the magazine decided to resort to name-calling. Newsweek evidently decided to rely only on sources that told them what they want to hear."

    "Senate Joint Resolution 22 was submitted to the Oklahoma legislature in 1995 calling for the support and creation of a NAFTA superhighway, which was spelled out in exactly those words. What more evidence does Newsweek need?"

    - Oklahoma State Senator Randy Brogdon

    "Well, that would be long, long term."

    - Former Mexican President Vincente Fox (on the "amero")

    ???Countries benefit when they change these policies, and evidence suggests that North Americans are ready for a new relationship that renders this old definition of sovereignty obsolete."

    ???North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter.???

    - Robert Pastor (CFR)

    Rep. Virgil Goode's office confirmed that House Concurrent Resolution 40, sponsored by the Virginia Republican to oppose the North American Union and NAFTA Superhighways, now has more than 40 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives.

    I'm proud to see there are so many people out there, like me, that are sick of our country being sold out by corrupt politicians in bed with big business pimping out what USED to be the free press....we have a whole new free press out here, Mr. Miller, and it isn't that hard to debunk your BS., as you can see.

    Comment: Do you know why Newsweek is having financial problems and losing readership? I do.

    This Joe Miller article is yet another example of why Newsweek is losing credibility and losing readership. Here are some facts:
    - Newsweek has had to reduce circulation by 500,000
    - Newsweek parent company losing money because of Newsweek
    - Newsweek revenue fell 18%
    - Newsweek 13% decline in advertising because of fewer viewers, fewer ads and lower rates.

    Joe Miller's telling lies under the auspices of "factcheck" is just another lie to perpetuate more lies.

    Check out this chronicle Joe Miller's lies about Ron Paul.

    When Newsweek turns to writers like Joe Miller, Newsweek gets what it deserves which includes fewer readers and declining revenues.

    Comment: It's just been reported that the Trans-Texas Cooridor was put on hiatus by the Texas legislature because it got nervous that they were about to approve a toll road that was to be operated by a Spanish owned consortium for the next 50 years. I suppose Newsweek does not consider this to be a foreign funded superhighway running from Mexico to Canada that will be payed off by charging tolls to U.S. citizens. So I suppose we should just have every large global conglomerate buy all our highways and start charging fees? That way the government can say it never raised taxes and never mispent any of our tax money so it can't afford to finance this country's infrastructure. But I suppose there's nothing nefarious about foreign companies owning our roads if all they want to do is make money. It's capitalism, right? But wait - I forgot. Silly me. There's nothing to worry about. According to Newsweek this is just a myth.

Also, the budget dollar amount for this empire we have and what Ronald Reagan said 12 years ago. That's all you have? Wow. McCain said he wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. He also said he was against torture, yet today he voted against a measure that would allow for specific tactics to be used by the military. The MSM is sad.

    Comment: These primaries are fixed and the New Hampshire primary exposed that beyond all reasonable doubt.

    The inaction by ANY government agency is evidence enough that the government cares about its' own agenda over the Constitution and our civil rights and liberties.
    Another good example is comparing the media network polls to the internet polls such as Yahoo! BUZZ

    Comment: The Revolution is about the Constitution, Joe. You can make up all the crap you want about Ron Paul, but you won't stop the Revolution. We became the greatest nation in the history of mankind because of our strict adherence to the rule of law, and we will again be the greatest nation on Earth when we return to those values. No army in the world will force us to continue financially supporting the murder, rape and torture currently committed in our names. The libel you have printed here serves only to make your bias and propaganda Newsweek publishes more pronounced.

    Comment: Is that all you have?
    1.Highway or not, he wants to secure our border. (What about McCain?)
    2. Trillion or not, half a trillion is a nice chunk of change plus savings from eliminating do nothing departments(edumacation) will add up. (McCain- keep it all going until we are the next collapsed empire)
    3. He ran libertarian at the time, maybe he wanted to run on his own platform (McCain- Is he republican? could have fooled me)
    Why don't you make a list of McCain's faults. There is certainly more than three of them. My personal favorite: Returned hero dumps cripple wife for hot drug attic heiress- And that's no conspiracy, my friends

    Comment: Wow, what the 'bleep' is Joe Miller doing in this profession? I thought journalists were supposed to be fact checkers. You know, 'investigative'. The earth ain't flat. Just because you say it is Joe, don't make it so.

    Comment: Wow. What the 'bleep' is Joe Miller doing in this profession. I thought journalists were supposed to know their facts. I thought if you had an opinion about something it should at least be based in reality. Yes Joe, the earth is round. Quit saying it's flat. Just because you say it's flat, don't make it so.

    Comment: "there are, in fact, plans for a Trans-Texas Corridor, a road that would be (in spots) several football fields wide. And the road would be financed by a private company (which is partially Spanish-owned) that would then charge tolls to recoup its investment. But the TTC was approved by the Texas Legislature and the governor of Texas. It is a state initiative"

    Let me tell you something. You admit yourself that "Spanish" interests are building toll roads in Texas, but you think it's ok cause they "recoup their initial investment" ... Uhm, and then what after that? Oh yes, PROFIT. Are they going to give us control of these Tolls or stop charging? Uhm No. Foreign interests controlling our roads sounds perfectly normal to me.

    Comment: ROFL !!!!!!!!!! "NAFTA is a Myth" .. and I got this ocean, prime property, in the middle of Arkansas. Can you be any more naive? No, probably not. What will you be saying when it IS real? I hope you issue an apology for being not only an ignorant and naive Journalist but also an Egocentric that actually believes people cares what his OPINION is. Thats all Mainstream Media is now, their ignorant opinions. You all should be covering Jerry Springer contestants and Reality Shows and not the real World. You're simply not part of it you brainwashed mass of goodfornothing. There is proof that it exists. The meetings with US/Canada/Mexico were not about anything but NAFTA. Do you really think we couldn't create a duplicate Wall of China if we didn't looooooooooooooooVe Cheap labor and secretly welcome it? Why do you think Wal Mart is full of Chinese products. Its certainly not because we are trying to Raise their Humanitarian level. I can't handle this anymore.
