See, it's working.

Sure is......I wonder how many dollars the US 'used' to make from
tourism?

They don't know and they don't care......


As a contributor to the global economy, tourism has no equal.

Sure it does.... Arms Manufacturing! Oil! .... do you really think
tourism holds a candle against those???!!

Oz... Americans are spenders...... they can hurt you a lot more than you can
ever hurt them. It's a pain in the ass to have to book flights that don't
stop in the USA.... but I bite the bullet quietly and pay the extra cost.
I've been doing it way before 9/11..... I just have had no reason to visit
their country or spend my money there. It's not friendly, not pretty, the
beer sucks, the pot sucks, and it's just not worth the hassle.... they don't
even speak English there!

We in Canada have way better sking, hunting, camping, entertainment,
sailing, water and wilderness with a tenth of the crime. Come up here for
your next vacation.... no hassles and friendly people! Plus we are a fellow
Commonwealth Country! :-D
