I was just talking to Mr. X about ants and grasshoppers last night.

And it occurred to me that WE (well most Americans shopping at any Wal-Mart or Target or K-Mart) are grasshoppers living off Chinese ants. We are living off alien ants- who are willing to work for itty bitty ant wages- so that we can buy shoes for cheap. And underwear for cheap.

And these Chinese ants put our own lower working class ants in grave danger (imo).

I'm afraid I'm turning into a libertarian socialist.
