it's 3 am and i think i'm lonely

ok lots of things on my mind, first the other thing i was thinking about with anarchy is that controlling other people isn't all bad, i mean how does wisdom get passed down? or lots of knowledge for that matter...  secondly bush says that we are "we're not an imperial power" he says "we're a liberating power" and apparently he is citing conviction "deep in my (his) soul".  yea sorta sounds like the crusades or colonialism to me.... anyways... i was watching a program on pbs hosted by matt damon tonight (yea that was definitely a boost in my opinion of him)... the program was talking about the struggle between the rich and the poor and how that creates political instability (violence, revolution etc etc) and that the economic problems were often because of environmental problems... and this just helped to show me the real problems with NAFTA and other programs like it ( i can't remember the other one's acronym)... these programs do not have human rights rules or environmental rules regulating US business that go elsewhere.... so you have to ask what is gained from this exactly.... they don't really help other nations develop (which in turn would be good for the US [larger markets for our products, less expenses on global problems, eventually even jobs returning to the US and who knows what else]), so my question is why does our government just allow business to go over seas?  why don't we just encourage businesses to go overseas by offering tax breaks (hell they aren't paying taxes anyways) and then have our own rules and regulations that we can inforce on those business (this way we wouldn't have to worry about bartering with other nations about the rules and regulations which could be generally very good since the United States has very highworking and living standards)  it's obvious US business could tremendously boost foreign economies and what is good for the goose is good for the gander (sp?) if you know what i mean, yea this could definitely solve a huge amount of problems from terrorism to poverty.....
