First post.

What to say.......I think American exceptional ism and the worlds free trade are at odds with each other. It is the expectation of the world market that we play by their rules but the idiots here are of the belief that we don't have anything we can learn from what other countries do that are successful. Other countries use a VAP tax to protect their jobs while we let ours go to emerging markets. Is this an accident? Dad say their ain't no such thing.

The American, or now multinational corporations would loose the benefit of moving to China if we implemented such a thing. So what good does nafta do me? Zip nadda not a gosh danged thang. Well, thats all I have for now. Meaniepants out.

I've read a few of your posts already and like them. But I've just bought a new star membership and so my logo will change.

In fact, I might occasionally switch between 2 different avatars I like, because I can't decide between them. It will still be me, though.

Thanks for some good reads.
