Apologies for the misspell. You are addicted to the straw man form of argument, no? What was it Bertrand Russell said about using logic to REFRAIN from making inferences?

"Blame" Harry Woo [a big contributor to Public Citizen] and his sponsor Jeff

Fiedler, who, I think, is still at United Food and Commercial Workers [he

used

to be in the AFL_CIO's corporate affairs dept]. Fiedlers' a rabid China

basher

and, according to some union organizers I know in King County, CIA. Just

plug

his name in google.

The name is Harry Wu. I know it is a terrible disappointment to folks who

went defend the 'socialist' motherland of PRC that Chinese dissidents such as

Wu and the Tianamen student leader exiles supported the AFL-CIO position on

China's entry into the WTO, since it makes it just a little difficult to

present it as the latest version of the 'yellow peril,' but then again, facts

are difficult things.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.

It never has, and it never will.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who

want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and

lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
