<P>><FONT face=Arial size=1>You'd introduced the question of morality and whether you were a villain. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=1> </P>
<P>Yes but what has that to do with the fact that I said international law is a farce</P>
<UL>
<LI>What about domestic law is that farce too?</LI></UL>
<P>No, there is enforcement behind that.</P>
<P> </P>
<P> >Without respect for law, </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I didn’t say I don’t respect the law, I said without enforcement it’s not a law at all, it’s just some guy saying don’t do something.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>>exactly how is your ethos any different from that of a looter?</P>
<P> </P>
<P>A looter always causes grief to somebody who does not deserve it, a violator of international law may or may not do so depending on the law. Another difference is that as a looter a policeman might shoot me, but international law has no policeman.</P>
<P> </P>
<P></P>
<P>.> As a citizen of the US you are, for now, able to enjoy some human rights benefits you haven't had to personally earn.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I do not feel that the government has done me an enormous favor by not taking away all my human rights.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>> What could possibly be your point in pointing at Libya? That because Libya (of Lockerbie) fame can't be trusted to run a Human Rights Commission</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Good boy, you answered your own question, keep using the old noggin like that and you won’t have to keep asking me questions.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>> So do you have a practical workable plan to eliminate sweat shops? </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I don’t want to eliminate sweatshops, I want to eliminate poverty, and my plan is one that has already worked in South Korea, Japan, Formosa, and large parts of China. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>>Its you that seems to hope that you might be of some appeal to it and be the beneficiary of its charity.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Everybody hopes for charity when they get into a jam they can’t get out of themselves, but that doesn’t mean I expect it or think I deserve it. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>>Its you that is creating the very world that you'd personally need to avoid. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>Huh?</P>
