Raymond,
If you want to let this discussion degenerate into a forum on name calling, be my guest, but before you start using names, I suggest you familiarize yourself a little more with something called "economics".
Your assertion that California was a "free market" in the similar way that you suggest was the case in Dahbol, Boliva and Dominican Republic, is akin to the classic strawman argument. If you don't have the facts on your side, then dress them out until they are.
The reality of globalization is that it makes poor people wealthier, it has resulted in better nutrition levels around the world, longer life spans, and a better standard of living for everyone. The reality of ignorance like your own is that you are attacking the very mechanisms that will empower the people you claim to support. You attack the free markets but you don't even know what they are.
Re: the California Energy crisis - blame the people who made the laws. If you can't even figure that out, you deserve to be robbed.
Regards,
Clement |
