'Yjoo heff ein bed Ettitud, get in zee Kattelcarr' - yeah yeah, we hear a lot of this, most recently from Their 'commerce' department that is way east, and way right, of the both of us ..... and while the Why of it passes all understanding, the Y of whom you speak is not entirely unknown to me, nor i to he, due to a mutual ill-fated interest in certain PoS discussed at length over the years in the resource ghetto back alleys of these threads, and another i suspect in certain socio-political phenomena of our species .... the subcomandante no, but i have been called the Sup-tomandante, deriving from the verb tomar, 'to drink', and Superior, a brand of beer popular in the Southeast [of México] ... no relation, although i did once have a mare that closely resembled his horse

There was some Washington mouthpiece the other day that was quoted as saying something like 'We just don't believe that canadians would do anything rotten' , i.e. retaliate in any way for this attack on a principal industry ... well we heard that loud and clear, and we know what it really means - 'We can stomp all over them any time we feel like it' ..... but this is a theory as yet unproven, and not at all a sure bet - the FOs already make big bucks trading with us, and their Big Oil would like to run pipelines through our tribal lands, n'est-ce pas ... we also pretty much control the stand-up comic industry north of the Río Bravo, think about that for a minute, eh ... do they want free trade, or don't they, which is it ... their response to that question will be a sign of the times

Actually the truth is often the most maligned when it is the most evident. Truly emancipated individuals are not afraid to sweep away the detritus of life in seeking the higher goals of a better society. This woosy 'I care, you care, we all care' malarkey is simply a sham foisted upon us by the greedy and self appointed watch dogs of morality and the purse.

The same can be said for world economics. Unfettered capitalistic development will always be an ideal, as few if any have the willingness to accept its razor sharp judgment of success and failure. Much like communism, the willi nilli approaches to the real theory will inevitably lead to its demise; leaving it just another good theory gone bad.

As for the fellows up north. Given the fact that the hard winters should limit much of the environmental hazard of unlikely difficulties in genetic advances, it seems that it is as a good a place as any to test things out. Their political system, though not a malible as the US can certainly be guided in the proper direction.

Oh, Marcos, just what to you have against SPAM, A fine product. Perhaps I can get an associate to send you some of the imitation products from New Zealand and Australia which marked 'For Export Only' (read that anyway you want) Concoctions of such dubious origin that they seem chemically commanded to stick to Teflon. Eat those for a few years and then tell me you don't see good value in SPAM.
