Re: Hmmmm Suspect.....
A true global economy would imply wage and labor standards. Of which there are none. How can we "compete" if my job sells over seas for a dollar a day? I am not about excluding anyone, I am however about protecting my home, my family, my job and my interests. I have a responsibility to myself and my HOMELAND first. If a country's warlords squander world help to futher themselves and their people suffer because of it how is that my or any other American's problem?
Oh and if you want to see poverty up close and personal? Take a tour of the Apalachian mountains. |

No, it doesn't - that's Utopia and ain't gonna happen. And rather than us all getting worked up over a couple of pedal-powered PCs in the hinterlands, I would suggest perusing the referenced site to see all the charitable/noble acts being performed by this organization that do not receive much publicity...and applaud them.

Just walk across the street from the White House...
My sibling was asking me about the orbits of planets and the amount of area swept in any given time. I had to ask him, "Am I my brother's Kepler?" |

Your claims are totally contradictory. You ARE indeed all about exclusion of others. You are the very definition of xenophobia! Everything you state reeks of "me, my and myself". The poorest of the poor in Appalachian would be considered a grand "warlord" in some of the real poor regions of the world. You either are a xenophobe by choice or ignorance. The former can't be helped, so let's hope it's the latter so you can eventually be enlightened.
