Those are some excellent points as well.
I'll agree that the UN or something like it is necessary, but in need of reform. I'd rather see a more economic role for this organization and a lesser political influence. It has been shown to be corrupt in more ways than one and I think this needs to be addressed. I'd rather have an open forum to meet and discuss rather than forced political power, but it would be hard to assure people would adhere to rules agreed on in this type of situation.
Economically, I don't mind the loss of jobs overseas...outsourcing happens. It's part of the job cycle and this is just a bigger case of it. After all, global trade opens up the market and encourages more competition, better products and lower prices. Plus, it increases standard of living. Corporations and businesses are taxed heavily here and workers demand a lot...it is only good business that they go overseas. Better jobs will be created here to replace those that can be handled elsewhere.
Gotta hit the sack for now,
