Story: Yahoo 'helped jail Chinese journalist'

Let us face the truth regarding trade with China and the prerequisites placed by the Chinese. We leave our morals, ethics and national interests at the door. Collectively, the rest of the world is in a mad dash for the "gold in them thar hills" and the gold has blinded us to the regime that we are willing to uphold and strengthen as we pour billions into theiir cash registers.

We justfiy it with "trade will OPEN UP China"...perhaps, but in this headlong rush to be in on the ground floor, we won't let human rights get in the way...we will tout "human rights" as we attack Cuba and cut them off trying to choke their leadership, willingly damaging their people in the process...how hypocritical.

It is a "dog eat dog" world...let us not pretend that ethical concerns determine our behavior...Yahoo and Google have proved that beyond any shadow of belief...if we allowed a little collusion with regard to ethical business standards, we could collectively face the Chinese down and their population could feel the deprivation that their immoral leadership creates...instead we bolster their corrupt system with our greedy appeasement...is it any wonder that people are violently upset with "the New World Order"?

We see that violence in the streets on many continents. Is it paranoid to assume that we had headed for corporate rather than governmental control of our world?

How often do we see uncompromising adherence to principles. For a better world, that is where our investments should flow.

Any suggestions?
