Unbroken

Until recently, I thought the idea that the building of a highway from Mexico to Canada is part of a plan to usurp American sovereignty was the province of right-wing crackpots, so I was surprised to see left-wingers buy it, too.

This is from an article in The Nation: "this NAFTA Superhighway, as it is called, is just the beginning, the first stage of a long, silent coup aimed at supplanting the sovereign United States with a multinational North American Union."

I guess it just goes to show you, politics isn't a spectrum, it's a circle, with the nuts on the right and left meeting where the ends tie together.
