I need to start sending money to Greenpeace again!

And news that makes me sad:

Obama targets NAFTA but says supports free trade

Right, because god forbid we have a presidential candidate in America who doesn't worship at the holy shrine of laissez-faire. Dear Obama: you cannot have environmental regulations and labour standards in a free-market. No, really. That's not how the whole 'free-market' thing works.
'Asked how other countries should interpret his position, Obama responded that he supported free trade but wanted it to be fair.'

Dude, what? No, you have free-trade or you have fair-trade. You don't get both. Moron.

idiocy, politics
