For our friends in Canada

[togor]

i fully understand the differences. it isnt fair unless the same tax is levied on each product. we buy a whole bunch more from canada than they do from us, therefore they come out ahead no matter what. 3 things right off the top of my head, the NE portion of the US uses enormous amounts of canadian electricity, the vast majority of our lumber comes out of canada, as do large portions of our paper products. not so easy to name huge items canada imports from us.

Maybe they buy a lot of financial services out of the NE. Banks aren't my favorite thing but they count on the scorecard too, and the scorecard says we're running a trade surplus with them. So again I don't see how we Americans are collectively getting the sharp end of the stick on that deal.

Well Well Well .... the truth comes out . " You can't drink any more." Now we know why you are so easy to accuse others of being alcoholics on a public forum on the strength of one sentence ......

You attend AA don't you ??.... don't deny it.... my lifes experience tells me that is so through things you say ..... your're a trailer dweller... and a member of the local AA .... how am doing so far ?

This is truly a sad reflection on your personality, pebbles.

Please try to imagine the good that AA has done for millions of people. It is nothing to be ashamed of, rather the folks who do have enough strength of character to reconize their flaw and correct it for the good of themselves, their families and society should be honoured, not belittled.

You are missing the whole point here Ken. That man none stopped accused me of being alcohol dependent right here on this forum because I felt it wrong that a local government would ban the purchase of beer in a hurricane zone for my own protection .... while still allowing me to purchase a firearm....

And he just wouldn't let it go with his claims of being some grand highly intelligent phsychological expert .... reflect on that Ken .... and all of you who backed Boggs on this ....

that is what he should be belittled for ..... plus being a two faced alcoholic trailer dweller... know what i mean ?

Yes, sadly we know what you mean. It is a proven fact that the age at which a person becomes an alcoholic, say @ age 16 their emotional growth stops as well. Reading certain post, one comes to this understanding.
