And that is 6% of the population

Country: Belgium
Population of Brussels: 1,122,000

Wow. Another liberal with a math impediment. Big surprise.


700/1,122,000=0.000623

That'd be roughly 0.06% of the population there, Einstein.








0.06% disapprove of him. I guess 99.04% of the population approve of
him. Pretty good numbers, eh Jimcomma? ;-)

Hey Jimcomma, remind me once again of your point.

Do those who do not vote approve or disapprove of a candidate?

What sort of demonstrations happen in NYC when a diplomat from a hated
country like France arrives?


We don't take to the streets to protest. We protest with our wallets.

"Bordeaux wine exports in 2004 to the United States declined 35 percent in
volume and 59 percent in value. Sales to Great Britain dropped 21 percent in
volume and 33 percent in value."

That sure leaves a more lasting mark than 0.06% of Brussel's population
taking to the streets in protest, don't ya think?


If that were to have as much effect as you suggest, the dollar should be
rising against the Euro.


Why? Why do we want the dollar to rise against the Euro?

So the Asian countries holding our bonds, won't cash out and buy Euros.
If they do our bond market goes to hell fast.

What happens when nobody will accept your money because it's worthless?

I'll stay home, drive my US made pickup and Mustangs, and fish in my US made
boat with its US made engine using my US made Penn reels in the Chesapeake Bay,
which is also in the US.

No problem!
