1.  all the people care where I live
the magnetic ribbons and "W" stickers show how much they care.They care when they tint the windows darker in thier pimped out 500SL so they can't see the homeless,they care when they have to buy a card for the gate keeper at thier gated community because his wife died with no health insurence.They care as they step over the hungry when the valet brings thier car after a meal that costs more than most people make in a month.
Sorry thats what I see in L.A.,lots of people caring if they look good.

3. How is this good for Central Americans?
It means the same thing NAFTA meant for Mexico - unemployment and lower wages, with the ensuing exploitation.

And pretty much the same thing for the United States.
