Economic Power Shortens Tyranny's Hour (a limerick)(du20000524-01)
    The folks who opposed trade with China 
    until it gets gentler and kinder ... .
    Do not seem to know 
    what makes freedom grow  
    because they see hist'ry with blinders.
    Forget such political fodder; 
    then study the ole Magna Carter.
    What was the thing 
    that made England's King 
    think yielding some power was smarter?
    It wasn't his longing to nurse 
    new freedoms for better or worse.
    He chose to agree 
    because he could see 
    how strong was the pow'r of the purse.
    But those against trade still have fear, '
    cause freedom was long getting here.
    Of course, we all know, 
    back then things were slow, 
    so progress took hundreds of years.
    But now there are phones and computers 
    to help them resist the storm troopers
    In this modern time, 
    it won't take much time 
    for tyranny's rule to be neutered
