#7 likely none, but if China's paying for the port (likely), we should look twice at allowing those trains through.

#8 Yes, if US customs is much easier from Mexico than from China, look at China bribing Mexican customs to look the other way. This could de facto bring China into NAFTA.

#9 Have any of you actually tasted Magen David wine? *shudder* I think it may be why so few Jews become alcoholics.

#11 Yeah, yeah, it's old... why is Forsyth County like grits?

#13 This is also an approach to undercut the dock workers union [and costs] in CA. Want to strike in the Bay, Long Beach, or San Diego. Just move the ships to Mexico to offload. Remember this.

I'd say more like half a dozen times but knowing the way our government works I'm afraid it ain't likely to happen that way.

#16 Mexico should have done this the day after NAFTA went through.

That was internet humor intended for those who ~~have~~ get it. I'll discuss this issue with my half brother and try to get him to serious up. I'm afraid he was born with an affinity for light-heartedness. Until then, please, accept my apologies on his behalf.

#18 Much obliged Mike. Speaking for myself mind you, but I've experienced a bit of his humour and taunts in the past. Had one particularly bitter session caught in my throught for quite some time. My last on it. Grote.

#19 Ah. That was probably a tone it down tactic. Should have seen Shark Week. That was really aggressive. A few of us can be territorial about the Burg. Just trying to keep it below opposition radar is all.

#20 Hutchinson Wampoa has contracts for the dock facilities on both sides of the Panama Canal. If they pull a fast one with Mexico on the proposed port, they will get Taiwan without a shot. Just make a few quiet off the radar remarks to someone in BOA (Big O Administration) and it's done.

This is like a wasp laying an egg inside the insect larvae and it eats the larvae from the inside out while still alive (shudders at the analogy).
