Trade restrictions on lamb? First I'd heard of it. There are no USA sheep eaters to speak of, but I can see how it would be a big deal to Australia and New Zealand.:) Seriously, I'm doing a google search on it and not finding anything that originates in the US. We eat lamb 3 or 4 times a year which is quite a lot for the US, but it's at Greek festivals or restaurants. I've never cooked lamb in my life. Oh, here we go. Sheepusa.org. It seems that they are accusing you guys of lamb dumping. Sorry, that sounds funny to me, I have a mental image of Aussies sneaking over the border and dropping lambs. Carefully, of course.-g- sheepusa.org

<The USA is colonizing the world by buying from it and establishing companies such as QUALCOMM which is setting up businesses around the world [via licensing]. Colonisation [of a voluntary kind] is good. Look at how well off Jay Chen is as a result of the wonderful British who colonized Hong Kong in a selfless act of benevolence, saving it from a century of Chinese mayhem. > I hasten to point out that the USA colonizing the world is different from previous colonisations which tended to lead with military power. Now it's the shareholders of the companies in the USA which are doing the colonizing. We are all over the world. So we are colonizing ourselves, using the USA legal and military system to defend our investments in the USA which are colonizing the world. We pay those USA military and legal people by way of taxes on the companies we own. We don't get to vote in the USA, so if Americans come up with too many wacky political ideas, such as no electricity in California, or too much tax for bludging voters, we'll have to move our businesses to more alluring climes. Right now, I'm colonizing China [with CDMA via Samsung which pays QUALCOMM]. My grandparents colonized China [before getting the heck out when other prospective colonizers got too stroppy militarily - my parents kicked them out again]. Meanwhile, Chinese are colonizing Kiwiland [there are swarms of them here]. But my offspring are colonizing those incoming Chinese. We will co-opt their DNA to carry our DNA. Hahahaha!! It seems that everywhere is colonizing everywhere and everyone is colonizing everyone. We have lost our tribal roots. If we don't hurry, it'll be hard going to organize a good old-fashioned genocide.

Hello Maurice, OT, I am a heavy duty lamb eater, grilled, broiled, boiled (hot pot style) and curried. I do lamb in pita bread every Friday at the Foreign Correspondent Club (Friday special) and every time I visit Beijing (at least once every two weeks). I eat beef about once every 3-4 months, at Buzz's in Hawaii. <<Look at how well off Jay Chen is as a result of the wonderful British who colonized Hong Kong in a selfless act of benevolence, saving it from a century of Chinese mayhem>> Well, I otherwise would have been a successful watermelon hawker. The British, unlike the French, educated themselves out of an empire. The French just lost it the old fashioned way - on their behinds, with Tahiti still to go. I suppose, at some point in the future, Australia, New Zealand, and all nations around the Pacific rim, can organize an air blockade of Tahiti, and boot out the French in no time, as they like their old country wines and such. Chugs, Jay
