Comment You so-called liberals should be ashamed (Score -1, Flamebait) 786
It's ironic that it's mostly those people who consider themselves liberal Democrats who decry the outsourcing of jobs the loudest. These jobs, be they sewing Nikes or debugging the latest version of Grand Theft Auto, provide a huge boost to the standard of living some of the world's most impoverished people. If you are truly a liberal you should be supporting as much of this type of trade as possible. Thankfully not all liberals are so myopic. Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, gets it. Possibly the most left-leaning prominent businesswoman on the planet, she nonetheless recognizes the importance of trade for the betterment of developing countries, as evidenced by her company's slogan "Trade not Aid". Unfortunately neither John Kerry nor G.W. seem to get it. Sadly, a whole whack of selfish Slashdotters don't seem to get it either.
