Seems NAFTA isn't good for anyone except a few big producers - whether

You got that right! I couldn't believe it when Congress fell in line
during the NAFTA debates. Seemed crystal clear to me that it was a
major Big Biz scam...

You couldn't believe Congress fell for a Big Biz scam? Who do you
think they work for? Us?

Confession: I did, in my naive youth. Now, alas...

(it still hurts!)

Yeah. It takes us all a while to realize our gevernment isn't a lot
better than any other. They just let us blow off steam in free speech
and free press because it's a good safety valve. Seldom does it change
their actions as witness the current push to war despite a majority
saying "not without UN approval".

And as far as the freedom itself goes, it's a lot less than it used to be
- I'm an old fart so I remember :-).
