Operation "Unleash the Invasives!" proceeds according to plan:

Free trade is proving to be one of our greatest tools in homogenizing the planet. Today, we highlight a story originally from the Washington Post entitled: Free Trade Puts Pests in Position to Destroy.

An exerpt: "Global travel and trade have created a superhighway into the United States for destructive foreign insects, plants, animals and diseases that scientists call alien invasive species. Yet we're pretending we don't have to pay much attention. Countless other destructive alien species are on their way here unless we enact immediate trade policy changes and tougher cargo inspections. The costs will be formidable, but the alternative - more ``free trade'' in this biological pollution - is far worse."

We here at the CHL think that the current trade policies and cargo inspection protocols are just fine--leave them alone. Even if you do enact tougher regulations, you are only slowing things down. YOU CAN NOT STOP US. Go ahead and try, losers.
