What it boils down to is that US is enforcing India's laws to protect
the woodworking jobs at the expense of American jobs.

And apparently, the Indian woodworker aren't doing their jobs very
well, at least when it comes to "uniform commercial quality".

Granted, Gibson has a lot of things going against it in the current
political climate ... it has actually publicly supported Republican
politicians in a "right to work" state. Heaven forbid.


Bull****. What it boils down to is some prick in Fish and Wildlife
protecting HIS turf. Remember, Harry J. Anslinger, Jr. was the first
commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. He insured his success
by "finding" a huge drug problem: criminalizing marijuana after four
years on the job.



All you did was say "Bull****" and change the subject ... you're going
to have to do better than that.


I'm wondering what U.S. Fish and Game Wardens have to do with Indian
lumber. Where'd he get that?
