48. You would have never seen that on a progressive board
six or seven years ago. It's 'pragmatic' to 'see things as they are and just accept them. They call it 'realism'.

I prefer the non-pragmatic view which is what got things done throughout history.

What I'm hoping for is that working people around the world will join forces, which I believe is beginning to happen now, and fight for fair trade, fair wages, and decent working conditions everywhere, not just in their own countries.

Maybe the world's labor force can establish a sort of Global Labor Union to combat the draconian conditions of the Global Corporations. They are a bit ahead of us, the Global Corps, but I think people around the world a lot wiser about these things today than they were even a decade ago.
