<flame>From a purely human rights point of view, <sarcasm>it sure is 
terrible that Americans actually have to _compete_ with people in other 
contries. </sarcasm> The people getting our jobs are just as deserving 
of the right to work and survive as we are. If our country worked more 
on keeping other country's standards of living higher, they wouldn't be 
able to work for 'next to nothing'. Who makes those foreign policy 
decisions? The rich. Who's your real enemy? The rich. Place the blame in 
the right place and then go out and do something about it. Most 
importantly, keep doing what you just did: talk about it with everyone 
you can.</flame>
