In 1859 Lincoln said that the Republican party believed in the man and the dollar, but that in case of conflict it believed in the man before the dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man, the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handiwork of man, is of inferior importance. Man is the master, money the servant, but upon all important questions of the nineteenth century European countries tended to make money the master and man the servant.

NAFTA isn't working for American, Canadian or Mexican workers NAFTA's impact on American workers American workers know what has happened to them because of NAFTA: loss of jobs and a decline in living standards. How could NAFTA have such a devastating impact on American workers? In 1993, the year before NAFTA was passed, the U.S. had a $1.7 billion trade surplus with Mexico. This means that Mexicans were buying more American goods than Americans were buying from Mexico. After NAFTA, however, the situation was reversed.

Yet if everyone who attempts or had attempted were not stopped, the impact would be noticed. Another popular argument for stoppers, people who want to prevent , is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the victim does everyday. How could they possibly know what the potential victim feels. Just as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the victim wishes the same. To die in peace with no argument from others. The argument of "look at the people you will hur ...

This type of torture and oppression continued, and during the 1970's the repression was especially harsh; during this time more and more Indians began to resist. It was during this time that Rigoberta Menchu's family became involved in the resistance. The situation in Guatemala is similar to South Africa, where the black majority are ruled with absolute power by the white minority. Like South Africa, the Indians in Guatemala are lacking in ...
