Without having an international trade policy there'd be no bananas in the United States, yet they are so numerous as to constitute a "staple crop" here!

Did you realize that almost 1/4 of the starch in the aggregate world diet comes from bananas?

1/4 of the Earth's land surface is also given over to herding reindeer and musk oxen.

Big time stuff there, and here we have a bunch of supposed conservatives getting as excited about the trade policies and structures that give us bananas as the leftwingnuts get about the risk to reindeer posed by drilling oil at ANWR.

There's gotta' be a sense of proportion in all of this, but it's escaping me.

Oh, yeah, and in addition to the "It's just a road" thought, I'd like to add that "All the roads are already there ~ all we are talking about are some bags of cement and new road signs, not some internationalist/globalist/bilderberger conspiracy".
