Excellent points Jorj, our present relationship with Japan and Germany proves your case even more so. And yes, those who do make it out of the repressed cultures and come to America love the lifestyle - especially the material and permissive parts. So maybe instead of winning their hearts and minds, we need to win their shopping carts and their dicks. How about we send them all those K-Marts we're closing plus Britney & J-Lo, maybe N-Sync as well (takes all kinds you know, lol)and the Montreal Expos. If they behave real nice and do everything we say, next year we'll send 'em more - maybe a Sears or two, a Chuckie Cheese, Moesha, the Cincinatti Bengals, etc. Maybe we can have a national contest each year to see who gets voted off the continent.
PS - Screwin around aside Jorj, I seriously believe that beneficial trade relationships combined with very clear, black and white parameters would be a great policy to pursue. Any guesses as to why that doesn't get brought up in the current political climate? |
