WOW! Some sense on this subject! Congratulations!

I find it most interesting that you can take a more dispassionate and calmer view of this matter than our hyperliberal brethren and sisthren who, in so many other cases, cry and gnash their teeth over the fate of the poor, oppressed (by evil American corporations, of course) people of countries such as India.

They scream and moan about the indifference of the first world towards the third. Yet when it comes to opening markets so that those people India can also make a living, they scream and moan about that too.

Are they hypocrites? Or simply stupid?

One variety of "stupid" here consists in thinking they can stop it. The technology is here. It will be used. If we in the US don't use it, other countries will use it against us. We can swim with the tide our against it. If we swim against it, we are doomed to die of exhaustion.
