RE MEXICO CHINA THE MEXICO OR CHINA OR INDIA PRICE THE PRESIDENCY NAFTA AND YOU
Read a passage in China, Inc., and surprised to learn how Mexican illegal influx here is connected with loss by Mexico of many hundreds of thousands of sweats shop jobs to China in the past 10 years.
Remember NAFTA, A President Clinton baby?
All Presidents, virtually, have been for free globalizing trade,
at least since FDR.
Didn't matter which party, really.
WASTREL CAPITALISM
The US has been a jobs transfer union, Germany may become merely a currency one.
As a result, Mrs. Merkel is under increasing pressure from abroad to buoy the weaker states, facing accusations that she is risking the financial stability of the bloc and with it the world by endorsing only half-measures. At home, she faces sharp criticism for inching closer to what critics here call a transfer union, sending German funds to wastrel neighbors.

re THE TWO SIDES OF THE 1960S DK
See his post.
I especially liked this passage:
"And for the most part, OWS seems to be opposed to organization and discipline as well--and the Boomers who have adopted it are still convinced, of course, that that is a good thing."

The President of My Country accuse my father of coup attempt And he was killed in Attack by the rebels. I am writing this mail to you with tears and sorrow from my heart. I was adopted by my late father because he had no child of his own.
I am constrained to contact you because of the maltreatment I, am receiving from my step mother. All my late fathers’ families planned to take away all my late father's treasury and properties from me since the unexpected death of my beloved Father. Mean while I wanted to escape to the Europe but she hides away my international passport and other valuable traveling documents. Luckily she did not discover where I kept my fathers File which contains important documents. So I decided to run to the refugee camp where I am presently seeking asylum under the United Nations High Commission for the Refugee here in Ghana Republic. I wish to contact you personally for a long term business relationship and investment assistance in your Country.
My father deposited the sum of five Million Dollars in Bank with my name as the next of kin. However, I shall forward you with the necessary documents on confirmation of your acceptance to assist me for the transfer and investment of the fund. I will send to you the phone contact of the Pastor whom is in charge of the Refugee camp I have handed this project to a Pastor where I attended a church since I arrived here. I will like to complete my studies in your country, as I was in my year one in the university, when the crisis started. It is my intention to compensate you with 25% of the total money for your services and the balance shall be my investment capital. Please tell me more about yourself. Email me on (suzancoulibaly@Safe-mail.net)
Thanks
Miss Suzanne Coulibaly.

CHINESE TYCOON ACCUSES WEST OF DOUBLE STANDARD
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15916486
Not only do we need a double standard at times,
as the tycoon correctly asserts, excluding him and others,
but each nation probably would be better served by its own national standard in such and similar cases.
I would extend such scrutiny much farther than this myself,
having seen what a lax international system has produced over 50 years.

THOMAS FRIEDMAN IN THE ARAB WORLD MR GLOBALIZATION
This is platitudinous babblelization pap,
for gullible Westerners, buying a paper.
Unspeak.
These revolts are turning, over night, often by democratic means, as democratic as any over there, toward Muslim, and often fundamentalist, regimes.
The only kind of 'democracy' that is right for those who create it is the one they enact.
Do you really want that much fundamentalist muslim 'democracy'?
It was your laissez faire liberal democratic system that goaded them into action.
As I have mentioned, WW III may have already begun, in hindsight, but you will not learn that is perhaps what has happened in the NYT, or from Mr Globalization.

RE DK'S CURRENT POST AND THE US ON THE EVE OF WWI
In reading Kennan's book on Russia and the West Under Lenin and Stalin,
it seems that the US saw itself, back then, with Wilson in 1917,
as having no good dog in that enormous fight,
until the wonderful, marvelous, Russian (Bolshevik) Revolution.
Few Americans will be able to get their minds around this bit of historical fact, or any implications, now.

She makes a great, anti laissez faire, case for authenticity and charm of unadulterated persons.

RE THE PALEO DIET AND THE PALEO MENTALITY
No doubt there are some,
who have made a connection,
between dietary inferences from ostensible genetic nature,
with an archaeological pedigree,
and intellectual inferences along similar lines.
it is not a new thing to do so.
MY OWN VIEW IS THAT THERE MAY WELL BE SOMETHING TO GENETIC PREDISPOSITIONS,
BUT I AM SKEPTICAL NOT ONLY OF PALEO DIET INFERENCES,
BUT ALSO OF PALEO INTELLECTUAL ONES AS WELL.

I ONLY SAW SAMUEL BECKETT AND PATRICK MAGEE IN PERSON ONCE
Outside the Royal Court Theatre, in London, in the early 70s, 72, 73.
It may have been 76 through 78, my second long junket there in London.
They were rehearsing a play, I guess, for which I was getting a ticket early, for that evening, way back then.
Billie Whitelaw was in it, as I recall.
I believe it was Happy Days. The heroine was imbedded in a mound.
No doubt they were going to a pub nearby, when I saw them, outside the theater, as it was lunch time there.

RE WE ARE THE 99.9% KRUGMAN NYT EDITORIAL TODAY
Great stuff.
Old laissez faire theory exhalted small bourgeoisie and freeholders. Hated the big monopolies, charter companies, East India Company etc.
Also hated nationalism itself.
They were really early, globalistic, working but also rather bourgeoisie class oriented, political anarchists even, re the Ancien Regime, in spirit. Theirs was also the spirit of the Enlightenment, unfortunately.
An ideal, stillborn unfortunately, even in the 18th Century of Adam Smith.

FROM DK CURRENT POST AUDIO REFERENCE PAUL REVERE
This could be also a description of the ethos of laissez faire I have so often adverted to here:
'What has finally struck me this week is that those values--spontaneity, the exaltation of individual feeling and experience, and the rejection of institutional authority--were, inevitably, politically disastrous. For one thing, the rich and powerful (and the would-be rich and powerful) seized upon them as justifications for greatereconomic freedom, lower taxes, and less regulation. But for another, these values worked against the values of discipline, organization, and leadership, which have been critical to effective political action since the beginning of time. And the emphasis on what divides us--on race, gender, sexual preference, religion, and values--has now almost completely destroyed any national sense of common purpose and belief, which was critical in the 1930s and 1940s to the extraordinary things our grandparents and parents accomplished and remain equally critical today. In the second post I ever made here, seven years ago, I showed how these same problems had affected the right--and specifically George W. Bush--just as much as the Left. It was natural for him to believe that he could transform a whole region of the world, the Middle East, by dropping bombs, and lower taxes at the same time: it all felt good, so he did it, confident that the world would bend to his feelings. His left-wing counterparts have been equally delusional, and much less effective. The attack on authority became an attack on intellectual authority as well, and both left-wing academics and religious zealots freely reject the rationalist values of western civilization.'

THIS IS NOT SO FAR FETCHED AS THE AVERAGE BEAR MIGHT THINK KISSINGER ON KENNAN MR X
Amid a thoroughly bad article on a Gaddis book which I have not yet read,
he lets slip this most blatant fact of 1945:
"...THAT ACTUAL BALANCE WAS NEVER MORE FAVORABLE....."
Thus, the hypothesis: Patton killed by NKVD and OSS,
not so far fetched, either.
RE TEACHING COMPANY THINKING ABOUT CAPITALISM MULLER AND POLITICAL ECONOMY

He does a good job connecting economics with fields lying among and around it which modern 'thinkers' no longer see associated.
