Did Mitt not say a while back he was “in touch” with the current olympic committee? I know they have a horse in the games, but he said this in an interview. So he is still busy with outsourcers.

The more local we can make everything we purchase, the better for the planet. Shipping things across the ocean is a huge waste of fuel. Having huge factories is bad for the environment, workers rights and wages. I would love to buy my clothes from a neighbor who sews, my vegetables from the farmer down the road, have chairs made from the amazing woodworker who works out of his barn. People would have control, responsibility, and the satisfaction of seeing the circle being completed in their own communities. But absolutely, let’s give up the silliness of countries and work together to make communities.

the Congressional Directory? after he reads
from The Floor. SHCCCC

If we would have ONE village, called EARTH, than would it matter who makes what? Earthlings would manufacture clothing and ship it around, Earthlings would grow wheats and corn were it grows the best, Earthlings would put solar panels were …there are the most sum, and build wind mills were the wind blows the most, and use water energy were water is etc. But, no, people are still don’t get it that we only have ONE earth, and isntsead of using it and using it up, we should feel the ownership and honor ship to really cherish it and take care of it. The Olympics would be a great opportunity to watch the world’s best athletes to perform, and do their best with out borders: meaning, some could root for and celebrate the best Russian swimmer, best Chinese gymnast, best Hungarian kayak champion, best US runner with out being a traitor to his/her own country. I think the problem is simplified and does not grab the root. The real problem is NOT that China manufacture your clothes, shoes, make up, dishes, toys etc. The problem is, that the US DID NOT come up with inventions that would change the world, and save the world from disasters, such as hunger, pollution and global warming. If the US would have the technology to deal with pollution, reusing toxic waste, operating cars with out oil, would be able to solve the energy crisis with solar, wind and water power, etc, if the USA would have the TECHNOLOGY to contribute to the global village, than who would vine about that your panties are made in CHINA? I don’t understand, why they don’t understand?
