20 years ago we did not have the level of cheap communications that we have today.

20 years ago a trans ocean communications link was prohibitively expensive. Today they are so cheap and plentiful that voice, video and data transmission are feasable for nearly any undertaking.

The ability to get the information outside of our borders is no longer hindered by extreme cost or clunky satellite mechanisms.

With current networking and communications technology you can not tell where you are linking to.

Borders no longer contain our lifestyle.

You post that you are a businessman and that you pay tariffs, so the logical next question is on what products and what percentage. Now you resort to namecalling.

Thats really credible of you.

If you do not provide an updated tariff schedule to hedgetrimmer, then your entire position is unsupportable. [laughter]
