"it is not inevitable that growth will drive child labour to the economic margins "

this is a key insight

the child labor expoloitation issue
is too complex for foolish well meaning chatter
about darkest "feudal" china and india

as if the intensification
of cross border marauding
by the globe's ultra modern
multi national corporations
could suddenly and for real
play "white " knight roles here

what a savage charade

especially
in areas where up till now
by their willful ignorance
if not overt connivence
they have ultimately
accelerated this evil process

with their huge "buying power"
they have only intensified
this out of sight out of mind off the books
super duper form of exploitation

a few nuts too hard to crack
make for our only hope...

something there is that don't love a hierarchy eh ???

most national educational ...."requirements"
and standards
are in the end nothin but
expensive extrinsic job filters

spencian signals at best

why do we need those 4 high school years
to prove who among the mob of
future job applicants
has a true blue proper job-itude

ahh yes
the great american schoolag arch-e-peligo
ie

is our sacred deweyland
the high school
a better gauntlet
then a 30 hour per week job
starting at 14 ???

----------
what a travesty of justice

all these grade 9 thru 12
incubator organizations
producing ever fewer but more jobble ready
cubicle draft animals

and then there's our ultimo gift to the masses ....

the "u must have a BA to play a professional role "
gimmick

well all this higher schoolin
is mostly just a nasty molding
of raw youth into
cooked employees

my nagging nite thought:

is it really only out there
to feed
our highly hide bound self justifying
liberal meritocrats ???

you know the guys and gals with the advanced degrees
the self righteous secular symp-sob squad
that share
as juniour partners
the august tasks
of holding "state " power
with their
spirited but crude
corporate babbitoid
brothers and sisters
