Why stop globalization? Battle in Seattle

[theowne]

Take Cambodia off the list, they have made great progress - since the end of their civil wars (and colonial wars) - about 10 years now. They still have a fair distance to go to reach Thailands level - but they are not falling back - they are improving at a fairly fast pace.

Fair enough.

we need trade, but we really need fair trade. look at food exports from South America. farmers in the south are making absolutely no money. they harvest just to stay alive, never mind any substantial wealth. The only reason are farmers in the West exist is because they are subsidized by government. We need fair trade, and we need more protests to support it.
We also need more awesome movies like Battle in Seattle. Ive been waiting for this flick for a long time. its been finished for 3 years now. I blame the Bush administration. they kept it from hitting theaters.

see the fair trade issues stem from the governments of the countries that have these issues. you could blame corporations and blah, but in the end, it's the fact cat govt heads that go through with the plans.

i've been reading some reviews of the film, and so far think woody has a pretty good role.
