Thanks. Hope I didn't come across too strongly. Now that I'm off my "choose to succeed and do it in a free society" podium, I'll admit that the US has gained much from it's economic and political strong-arming. That's not so right ...better to play the ball than the field. I wish everyone had a free government, free people, and a free market-driven capitalistic society ...they'd be able to fight the strong-arming much more effectively. Brian "William R.

I would recommend that you try it before you judge it. I've been fighting Canadian socialism for most of my adult life. And if you are going to spout off about labor, let's get this straight ...we agree. But you have to clarify your statement and say UNION labor. Up here that's mostly PUBLIC SECTOR UNION labour, and with 18% of the Ontario workforce in the public sector they command a lot of votes. It's what comes from socialism, ie public ownership, and public control of private property. Unlike the US we do not have private property protection in our constitution. I hope the US pulls through. You've been carrying the cost of global peace for quite a while. Everyone expects the Yanks, among other things, to patrol the seas and oceans and pay the cost. Before them it was the Brits who also charted the seas and oceans at public expense for future generations of boatbuilders. But when the Brits asked the Yanks to help pay the cost the Yanks got ****ed of and revolted. The Yanks have been smarter, paying for foreign goods in US dollars and them devaluing the dollar. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
