She is rapidly becoming one of my heroes.
Tapeworm EconomyGlobalization is a nice name for "race to the bottom".
I have come across Catherine on the net a number of times, and my opinion on her has been swaying back and forth. She makes some extraordinary claims regarding illegal drug trading which take some chewing and swallowing to get down, but she dont make any other UFO-like claims which are so common nowdays.
Current appraisal: That woman got balls of steel!
Of course, with so much corruption & malfeance about in plenty it is quite easy to believe that anything is possible, and, of course, so many claims are equally hard to disprove. Therefore, I usually stick to most logical conclusion until proven otherwise, and try to avoid confusing cause & effect with causality.
Mr Bill is right---everything is approx. as it appears, especially as offered by the WP, NYT, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, FoxNews, Time, Newsweek, CNBC, Larry Kudlow, The Wall Street Journal, PBS, GAO, The White House, the Federal Reserve, government schools, congress, IMF, WTO, World Bank, BIS, CFR, Vincente Fox, La Raza, Oprah, Dr Phil, Harvard's School of Business and its free trade wing, ESPN, AFL-CIO, government statisticians, along with other assorted mainstream dissementaors of "truth". They're not tryin to
sell you anything, they's just reportin the facts.
Might you let me in on how you arrive at your logical conclusions? Who's got your ear?
