I need help... any help appreciated.

Good stuff. Unfortunately it goes over most peoples heads. Them's that have it don't want to hear this kind of doubts.

Thanks Durgan. I do keep trying. Every once in a while I see a lightbulb go on in somebody's head, but usually I have to settle for being called a communist. :lol:

Communist!

You should also look at the benefits of globalization and free trade - lower cost for consumer products, free flow of capital stimulating the economy, increased prosperity for developing nations.

Just like a Canucks fan to need everything spelled out for him. :roll: Go Leafs Go!

Or inflated markets and lack of diversity due to lack of infrastructure. Leapfrogging is another phenomena worth researching.

Increased use of insecticides and herbicides, damage to land due to inapproprate crops and farming techniques, inability to save seeds, loss of markets due to EU and US subsidy regimes, loss of crop diversity. There are lots of specifics you can concentrate on, Canucksfan.

Hell, you can even look at how US protection of their pharmaceutical industry and their faith-based stance on condom use has exacerbated AIDS in Africa while depriving Canadian companies who make generic drugs of income. That ties directly back into farming, as well as everything else humans do, because there is a shortage of healthy, working-age adults to be productive in Africa.
