Pacifier makes goods points - so far as those on List #2 are concerned. It seems almost comical how those who are somewhere out in liberal land can see absolutely positively nothing good in what the US does abroad - yet if you threaten to quit doing it they squeal even louder! While the speech takes things to an extreme it goes no farther in the conservative direction than most who respond to this type of post are more than willing to go in the other. I honestly believe we could do this, and it would effect us less than any other nation on earth in the process. Many people do not realize that we are a petroleum exporting nation. If what we export was removed from the total we use it might be shocking for some. Petroleum appears to be the Catch 22 everyone wants to use in response to everything we do - the war, it was for their oil you know! Right? Bound to have been, we keep hearing this over and over. Mexico and Canada - Who actually needs who? Some of the Canadians insist that GM, Ford, etc. could not operate without Canadian imput. They are correct in this instance - could they be operating full tilt without them in two weeks? Probably. This nation has exported tens of thousands of jobs to places where lower wages cause production costs to be lower. The corporations involveds bottom line is probably the only thing positive to come out of this - the consumer didn't see a price decrease and a whole lot of would be consumers cannot buy the car because of the unemployment caused by job exportation in the first place. Me, I'd like to try it! I've dumped verything in the store I had that came from Frawnce'. I hate to think of not having Canadian whisky but I could adapt. Tequila - It stinks anyway and Corona - first thing anyone tells you before you go to Mexico is "don't drink the water" - Then they take that same water and make beer out of it - Ever wonder why Corona stinks and you have to use a lime to cover the skunky taste? The business I am in accounts for a huge chunk of what the US imports - We can make just as much without it as we do with it - perhaps even more!

Your turn.
