Okay, Blue, I have reread all the posts where I am commenting about the greed of multinational corporations, and I understand what you are saying, but I think your interpretation is fairly narrow, because to me the operative and most significant part of my statement to me is that greed is the GOVERNING FORCE. I totally agree with you that there are all sorts of chicanery, bribes, corruption, strange backwards customs etc. in developing nations. You can have all of these things in a vacuum; it still requires unethical corporations moving in to take advantage of them before you have multitudes of workers being mistreated. I guess an example I would cite is Mexico before the maquiladoras came in, and afterwards where you still have massive corruption and a poor, superstitious populace, but now there is horrible pollution of the rivers, the people are still quite poor but multinational corporations are making huge profits AND many jobs that Americans used to do have disappeared. So I would call that a governing force. I do now understand why you interpreted what I said the way you did.
