I haven't kept up with this lately, but back in 1996, when I was reporting
on it, a car needed to have something like 70% US content to be counted as
a
US-built car. There was some odd thing in there about NAFTA; I think a car
built partly in Mexico or Canada needed 50% US content to count as a
US-built car. I don't remember how that worked.

You probably could Google this one up.


While he's at it, he should googlize this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=north+american+union

That's a border around the whole of Canada, the USA, and Mexico, with
no division between us. The concept of abrogating our power (adding
Canada's liberals and Mexico's communists to our already too-socialist
regime) scares me ****less. Life, as we know it, would end. shudder


Well, life as *you* know it might end. Life as I know it wouldn't skip a
beat. g


I might be willing to lay you long odds on _that_ one, bubba.


Did you ever see that map that divides North America into "The United States
of Canada" and "Jesusland"? It's a hoot.


I'll have to find one. A pair of Mor(m)ons showed up at my door
yesterday. I smiled real big and one of them, realizing my recognition
of them, said "Yes, we're from the Church of Latter Day Saints, the
Mormons." I simply told them that I didn't believe in religion and
closed the door as he started to spout Jesus at me.

A guy across the main highway from me just put up a leanto and his
religious squatters on his lower 40 yesterday. I saw them on the way
into town. He's the guy who will put almost a megawatt of xmas lights
up, too. sigh Is it late January yet? WallyWorld had some hick
singer squealing out some xmas song 2 weeks ago, in OCTOBER!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Can I shift dimensions into a non-religious
world for a few months, please?
