13. Since when is Democracy an evangelical duty?
I really do not get this concept at all.

Who cares what other countries do, as long as it does not effect our citizens?

16. The "religion" of the new crusade is "Liberty and Democracy"
We're not really offering either, but then again, the Crusades in the middle ages were about spreading Christ's peace and message, but I don't recall much of that getting around back then, either.

4. Time To Start Doing More
Bartering. Everyone should start their own businesses and just barter.

12. This is exactly what I have been saying for a long time...
If the Corporations are going to pay slave wages, who would want to work for them. And who the hell could afford to work for them at .50/hour. Therefore, the only way around this is that we will all work for ourselves and barter our services to each other. Cause that's the only way we will be able to make ends meet.

17. It's Basically How Alot Of Our Grandparents
Did things back during the Great Depression. Way back then, people really didn't work for anyone else. My mom's father had several of his own businesses, and he traded for things his family needed all the time. They had a family of 6 children. If they did it back then, we can do it now.

6. If he really said 'Competable'... I wouldn't be suprised.
Edited on Sat Sep-04-04 08:54 PM by Dr_eldritch

As far as jobs go - if this emerging plutocracy thinks it can still sell its products to the underpaid American middle class they are suffering from a case of myopic infarction.
The spiral these short-sighted greed-mongering morons would set us on travels only to the bankruptcy of the country.
I find it hard to believe that the American people are THAT stupid to allow this.
Kerry will be elected.

15. He's also sending American jobs to foreign countries, where
they compete with any jobs already in those foreign countries. ergo they are competitive with foreign jobs.

He's getting us on both ends.
