Hedge: Roads are the lifeblood of the countryside, towns, cities and the nation.
He knows this, everyone knows this. Establishment of roads was of such critical importance to our nation that it was placed by the Founding Fathers within our Constitution as one of the duties of American government.
If hedgetrimmer is like me, he is more concerned about the implications of the road (creation of the North American Union and the end of a sovereign US as we know it plus further export of US jobs) rather than the road itself. That said, if this is the only way to get around the stranglehold that the Longshoreman's union has on this nation and its consumers, I'm for it. I hope you'll agree that the other implications I mentioned are quite disturbing.
The point which apparently was not adequately conveyed by me is that a road does not signal some major event in globalization.
It's just a road, but to some on this thread it appears to be the end of American sovereignty and some deep evil conspiracy.
It's not the first nor the last road we're going to build in this country. Roads are good things, not a reason to get one's panties in a knot.
