Well then we're even because I can't comprehend your logic either. It is not difficult logic to follow; and believe it or not I am not alone. George Soros, Bill Gates, and many others have expressed similar concerns over previous years about the same issues I am talking about. The Free Market Mantra at some point must give way to a cogitative process that allows for the dignity of every individual. This growth you disdain has lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty and continues to lift more each year. Why not visit some of the places supposedly helped by growth before speaking for the purported beneficiaries? Virtually every peson I talk to who has visited a third world nation offers a different perspective than the one you are espousing. Walk in the shoes, for even one moment, of those who "benefit" from this growth and then come back and say growth is all that is needed. Did you know that companies like ADM are patenting certain types of genetically engineered rice and forcing the country of India to coerce the farmers to make payments for a rice that has been used by them for hundreds of years! The rice is a slight variant from the original but ADM is claiming it as their own and extorting money from those who can least afford to pay. Free Markets in action. Brian
