You must live in a different part of the world... big item on last

shipments.

Methinks my view that a civil war is in the making is correct. Even
my "never confront anyone" wife is beginning to think differently.

I think Robert was inquiring if F-Troop was cracking down on border area
gun shops by nitpicking minor violations,and then revoking FFLs.

Nope. Not in AZ. At least I've not heard of any, and... in AZ, that
sort of shit makes the news _immediately_!

New Hampshire claims, "Live Free or Die". But that's not true, New
Hampshire is a weenie state.

Arizona should lay claim to, "Live Free or Die", we believe it ;-)

Stormy on the East Coast today... due to Bush's failed policies.

WA is not exactly a "border area" in the sense i think (more like

states bordering Mexico).
So in a way, good to hear that nitpicking is not US wide (?yet?).
Thanks for the feedback.

I imagine we'd respond in kind.

Who loses ?

Why are you so confrontional ? The USA seems to be obsessed with kicking the shit
out of other countries. We won't tolerate it much longer.

By the end of WWII, the high muckety-mucks had got the bloodlust, and have
been thirsting for conquest ever since.

Eisenhower tried to warn us about the military-industrial complex, but
apparently that warning fell on deaf ears.

I think that when Obamanomics takes the country down the toilet, Cheney's
planning on stepping in and appointing himself chancellor or something,
with Obama for his propaganda whore.

I wish I could draw cartoons - I envision one, a naked Cheney standing
there in high sneer, with his crotch hidden by the back of a kneeling
Obama's head (You'd be able to recognize him by the ears), captioned
"Bi-Partisanship".

Thanks,
Rich

What's truly hilarious that one of the lowest national debts
is held by Russia ! The
USA's is over TEN times more.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt

I specified self-supporting. Russia's surplus comes from
nationalizing
their oilfields.

I thought they were privately owned now.
e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazprom

OAO Gazprom (English: Public Joint Stock Company Gazprom,
Otkrytoye aktsionernoye
obshchestvo "Gazprom")[1] is the largest extractor of natural
gas in the world and the
largest Russian company.

Gazprom is publicly traded at stock exchanges as RTS:GAZP,
MICEX:GAZP, LSE: OGZD and
OTC:OGZPY. It is the largest oil and gas company in the world.


Whose people had the better standard-of-living, back when we
were less
socialist, and communism reigned supreme?

How's that revolution-thing working out for Cuba? It's been
what,
50 years? Are they a paragon of health, wealth, science, and
productivity?

Since you ceased any connection with them, that made it rather
difficult.

So, no nation can succeed without the U.S.

Without trade actually.


So, the US is the only one a country can trade with.


If they're the country's next door neighbour, sure. For example;
New Zealand would cope just fine if the USA refused to trade with
them, but they'd be screwed if we in Australia refused to trade
with them. To figure out why, just look at a map.


That explains the US' trade with China (& Europe) nicely.


So?

And

Mexico's prosperity as well. Not.


What the hell does Mexico export?


OIL, for staarters...

You're kidding. I bet it isn't an amount that'd make OPEC sit up &
take notice.

Well there you go. I stand corrected.

Some are, some are all voluenteer departments who raise their own

Some voluenteer departments get a flat rate stipend if called for
help.
But they all come out to put out fires in their neighbourhood, & don't
expect the person whose house is on fire to be a 'subscriber'?


There hasn't been a scam like that since the times when the Britsh
were kicked off US soil.

And rightly so. But once upon a time, fire brigades *did* work that way.
