I obviously don't know as much as I would if I was taking the class currently, and I have far too many other things on my mind (unfortunately) right now to be arguing academia, I suppose I was just trying to get you to look at it from the other side a bit. So i'm not trying to argue hardcore against you, because i'm much more uninformed on my side than you are on yours.

Yes...we are providing them with what may be their best option...but we are still exploiting them with wages, work conditions, and terms of employment, are we not?\

EDIT: My memory of the course is slowly returning in this debate. We are moving factories and such to export processing zones in other countries because it's easy trade, low taxes, and low wages that we have to dish out to get the same products we would otherwise have to pay laborers more for in America. I mean we may be stimulating their economy a little bit, but from a humanitarian perspective (surprisingly), the cost is pretty high. I mean it's not like America is the good samaritan doing this for their own good...we're doing it for ours...and any positive byproduct that happens, happens.

	Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing. ― Terence McKenna Last edited by Mr. Blonde; 02-01-2006 at 02:12 PM.
