Reading what LaRouche said raised some questions in my mind - he seems to be saying that free enterprise and free trade are Anglo-American plots. "Anglo-American" sounds like a strange epithet. What's wrong with being American? What's wrong with Great Britain? We do have some ideas in common, some good, some not so good. Taking responsibility for your own actions rather than blaming someone else. Accountability. Respect for the integrity of the individual. These are some of the ones we like, and they don't always translate well. I have read that our insistence on individual freedom seems like selfishness to others, e.g., the Japanese. There were a lot of bad intentions behind the secession of the Southern states - the preservation of slavery. If we believe in freedom, we must believe in freedom for all men, no matter what color they are. Slavery was, and is, an abomination, the worst thing imaginable, worse than robbery, rape and murder because it includes the power to commit all three and all other crimes with impunity, as long as your victime is "your property." As a purely intellectual exercise, however, the right of a state to secede from a union voluntarily entered ought to be self-evident. Can Great Britain leave the ECU? Can the US leave the UN? I certainly hope that if the US decided to leave the UN, we would not be forced at gunpoint to stay.
