Not a single national border to be seen. Dairy Queen. Who knew?

Things are better than you think. Yes, I know, most Americans are... convinced that the struggle in Iraq is an endless cycle of bloodshed, certain that our economy is in dismal shape.... That's what polls tell us. But if we look at some other numbers, we'll find that we are living not in the worst of times but in something much closer to the best. [snip]
First, economic growth. In 2005, as in 2004, the world economy grew by about 5 percent, according to the International Monetary Fund, and the IMF projects similar growth for several years to come.... [snip]
But aren't we also living in times of record strife? Actually, no. Just the opposite. The Human Security Centre of the University of British Columbia has been keeping track of armed conflicts since World War II...[snip]

Always good to read "good" news...
I've always like Barone. His good news is certain to drive the posts on this thread to single digits.
Won't hear about this on Joe Battalia (sp?)'s Goldline radio program. He's too convinced that the US is down the tubes economically.
All attention is directed toward the North American Union thread. Apparently someone discovered that the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have been cooperating, and that the C.F.R. is somehow involved.
LOL! Too true!
Will they be legal tender in Aztlan?
Good news sells no survival kits.

Woot!! Double digits before it gets off the first page.!! It's sad that you were pretty much right.
Bush Lied, repeated ad nasalium. (Never mind all the evidence to the contrary.)
The sky is falling, glowBull warming, MANBEARPIG attacks on the rise!
Dims ARE delusional!
I've always suspected they were nothing more than a front for the globalist socialist NWO espoused by the CFR.
Was it ever decided if it's OK for DQ to build stores outside the US as long as they repatriate their profits?
No it won't, the doomsday posters will show up...it's their calling. They simply can't let any thread remain positive.
Dairy Queen celebra sus exitos en México y la cuenta de tiendas DQ sigue creciendo por todo el país con más que 60 tiendas. El Blizzard en México es servido al revés o es gratis!Just having some fun while bumping the thread.

It doesn't stop there. What little power the homeless once had is being destroyed by the ever increasing voting majority of the winners of life's lottery. In fact, excess personal wealth has gotten so extreme that our society is endemically infested with an elite super rich that no longer even as a need to save. Americans used to save big-time back before the imbalance of private assets was allowed to corrupt net worth figures. Not any more.
Bottom line is that it's all the fault of those odious "free trait" agreements. Years ago we tried to tell them that sending all our jobs to Mexico would clearly result in the masses of Mexican unemployed flooding into the US job market.
The fact that we still have falling unemployment, even with a third of Mexico's population already here, proves that there's no hope, no light at the end of the tunnel. We're doomed.
I knew.
The only way they can do this is by stealing millions, if not billions, of American jobs. You can tell these jobs have been stolen from us because our unemployment rate has risen to the unsustainable level of 4.7%. If they steal many more jobs, our unemployed will no doubt jump to 4.0% or even 3.5%.
Someone, maybe Paul Ross, posted a link to a Michael Moore type video called, IIRC, Ha Ha America or Stupid America, something like that. It proved that China was beating us at every turn. The part I liked best showed Chinese workers weaving coaxial cable....by hand. Yeah, those sneaky foreigners taking the jobs that Americans will need in this high tech century.
Doomed!!! We even outsource our food preparation! We have someone else cook for us [possibly at DQ] but if we do venture into a grocery store, we go to the produce dept where someone else has even shredded our salad greens, and skinned our cute little baby carrots for us, from there to the deli dept where someone else cuts our meat for us, from there to the gourmet dessert section because we are so short of money and on and on. Woe are we...
