noway, if there's one thing our government should do its protect people. American corporations harming or taking advantage of people in other countries creates a backlash that harms americans.. so curbing corporate abuses abroad IS protecting americans at home or anywhere else.
i'd like to see a product label 'violence free' too bad there's only a couple products that would truly meet the standards.. at least my standards.. as it is i can't really shop anywhere at all  |
So I'm guessing PETA doesn't actually cause change? They obviously can't compete with the corportations.
Sorry no its not. Its once again enforcing on rules where they don't belong. Under such guidelines we could easily attack any country we chose to, as it could be construed as protecting Americans. But than again you whole argument is based solely off of slippery slope. You are claiming gurantees upon probabilities that require so many factors. And you aren't even looking at the opposite side of the board. What about Taiwan? I have heard nothing of such mass quanities of terrorism and unrest coming from there. So tell me does this slippery slope cause children to grow up to be Hitler's aimed at America?
