whoa! okay, to try and blanket answer here:
1. I'm not an idiot. You don't know me.
2. I'm not pro-sweatshop. I believe the stakeholder model would be very effective but would require a massive shift in how our economies operate.
3. I'm a realist, I live and think in reality. Pipe dreams don't impress me.
4. I sit on the left-wing of politics, but I'm not an extremist and it takes more than an idea and colourless "non-branding" for me to buy into a Brave New World.
5. I do believe that the stock market IS the root of all evil. BUT, it exists so we need to design solutions to deal with it, not blab on about "wouldn't it be nice if . . ."
6. Bucking the system will get you exactly nowhere.
7. Naomi Klein is a total hypocrit. A friend of mine is an audio engineer for CBC, she walked into her interview sucking back a Coke and a Starbucks coffee. When he noted the irony she said "give me a fucking break, I'm really hungover." Believe it or don't.
8. That's all I have to say in this thread.
