But questions worth asking, cards or no.

David Sirota, posting at Working for Change, discusses "billionaire Tom" Friedman's love afair with, among other things, the "globally integrated economy"...
He doesn't want us wondering why the global economy has been integrated with complex intellectual, patent and copyright protections, but no similar protections for wages, human rights, or environmental concerns. Because, you see, if we asked those questions, his entire premise would collapse like a house of cards.
