How the US economy is being destroyed...

Why should it matter to us if the US is a sinking ship in terms of it's economy. Well most know that the Canadian economy is hitched to the US via free trade and our historical trade relationship...US doesn't buy from us, we wind up hurting as well. Anyway, the part I found most interesting about Max Keiser's interview with a US economist is how 'freer trade' and 'comparative advantage' has led to the loss of jobs in the US and of course growth of jobs elsewhere. Take a look here, it is about 7 min. long.

Strongest Soldier in the world ... incredible video

I must thank Kia for sending this video. It is a look at war (Iraq but can apply to all others) and what it does. These are the kind of videos that remind me why we must work for peace...not just in the U.S.A. but here in Canada and all places across our globe. If we do not try to end human suffering, why kind of humans are we?
