. . . unless one travels to a new coalition partner country like Krygbasklestack.

Condor is back. Humor fully intact.

What a joke; though I dont even mind.

The euro, and please duly note uncapped, is a currency that may not survive over 20 months. Anyone who knows the problems france will have post one dead sugar daddy, wouldnt give two cents for a currency partialy dependent by the pathetic economy they have.(anyone have a population matrix of old and New Eurpoe handy to publish here? )

germanty will have an electoral backlash, while the New Eurpoe will become the source of economic vitality for the core of an integrated but atrophied whole europe. Frnce is gung ho out of its compulsion to always make its way by picking pockets of those it claims to be sympatico with...my what a reputation to have

These events take time and will happen. Without structural TAX REFORM and an end to the oligarchic hegemony prevalent in old europe, the euro Should be worth less than the canada buck.

Speaking of canada that basket case government needs a good revolution, why not propose a referendum by which freedom loving Canada Providences could get immediate statehood and leave the leeches to fend for themselves. MY what a thought.

Providences is synonimous with freedom. I just coined the term.

Krygbasklestack. Nice one Condor! But re travel: talking to several of my 'liberal' friends, and sharing some of their quotes...*even* they are upset with mostly France and Belgium, somewhat at Germany...most not at all with Italy and the UK (shows that the upset isn't totally political)...

But more the conversation is ...."well, where to go, that we might be welcome? "
Eastern Canada...nope.
Western and Middle Canada...probably.
South America....listening to the news, probably not right now.
Africa...are you nuts?
Anartica...YEP!
NZ and AU...Yes...
Russia...yes *but* someday....(Interestingly, most of my liberal friends are as distressed with Putin as I am...we all hoped for things to be different for Russia...)
Middle East....HA! Fat chance for now.
Far East...yes, but NOT with SARS running amuck...

So the decisions being formed seem to be just to stay in the USA for this year...see what happens...and see our own country, where we know at least we are welcome.
