>> Free trade has never worked (never mind that the world has never seen free trade), << i see we're making progress! you know what the world has also never seen? and never will see? peace! so we don't lay down our weapons and let evil walk all over us now do we? well the world has never seen free trade so we don't lay down our weapons (protective tariffs) in that aspect either! that is why i have been trying to point out to you that free trade is like peace. if everyone just stuck to this nice little utopian theory presented on paper you intellectuals would truly have something to behold. but it's a pipe dream--just like world unity and global peace. someone will always try to take advantage of the situation and gain the upper hand. >> We can't help everyone, so we should help no one but ourselves << your liberalism is really shining through today! go join the communist party. they spewed forth this utopian vision you are attempting to promulgate. >> Nice philosophy. << you are in fine form. philosophy is pseudo-intellectual bullshit. it is not the basis for running this country. that is your problem bob. i've been trying to tell you that you are too smart for your own good. try taking your nose out of the liberal books you've been reading and go out in the real world. you will begin to see that these pet theories put forth by scholars don't work in practice.
