A guy named Dave Munroe of Hiawatha, Canada ripped me off. He
advertised a 7 x 10 lathe on this news group for $175. I sent the
money almost 4 weeks ago and the lathe has never showed up. He
claims
to be from Hiawatha, Ontario, Canada. He won't return my emails or my
calls. BEWARE OF THIS GUY! Scum like him screw home machinist out of
their hard earned money. If anyone know this guy please drop me an
e-mail. I have his phone numbers and I am tempted to publish them
here soon.

I had a fellow mail me a oboe from maine, only about 600 miles away,
but
across the border.

Canada Customs are nowhere near as paranoid as US border nutzis.

That might be because the terrorists would most likely be traveling from
Canada to the U.S., not the other way around. Surely you are not this
clueless?

Terrorists are now smuggling lathes? Either you're clueless or you
think US customs are. I'd be putting my money on customs - they have
to follow policy.....

Enough already. Not to to start another flame war, but the US killed
more since the WTC than were killed in the WTC, and let's not even
discuss what secret things the US govt has done to increase
instability in certain parts of the world. This whole media-centric
fearmongering causing mass paranoia and over-the-top "security" that
does very little to secure people has gone on too long and is getting
a little tired.

As for terriorists coming from Canada, that has not been shown to be
accurate, it's only a media trying to redirect focus from the real
problem - US foreign policy. Here in Canuck-ville we have a similar
dictatorship to the US. Every 5 years or so we elect a different
dictator. Given the Canadian dollar, however, even our most wealthy
can't buy a Prime Minister-ship.

James.

The fact is James, there is a threat to the U.S. and there is no threat to
Canada.

Unless you are a Canadian Soldier within range of so-called "friendly
fire"

Or a Canadian citizen walking across the street in Niagara falls when
some "county mounty" Yankee cop crashes the border chasing a fleeing
car - violating Canadian soveraignty with impunity. - and you get run
down.

US Foreigh policy is a threat to ALL - not just the US -
Therefor it is reasonable that getting into the U.S. from a foriegn country
(be you a human or a crate) requires a little more time and trouble. It's
that simple.
