“Can I take this d@mned tinfoil hat off now?”
Probably not. The usual ‘cue the spooky music’s’ will show up at any time to tell us “it’s all about the economy, stupid” and soon as they do the thread will be moved to chat. SOP for anything having to do with NAU. But take a closer look at the history of those who do so and you’ll probably find that they ‘doth protest too much’...really having no problem with CFR, are in favor of NAFTA, are pro-illegal alien(cheap labor), and probably have no qualms about a NAU. More importantly, take notice of who they favor in ‘08.
For the 'deniers', all I have to say is that the local economic development folks in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana have been ballyhooing about the coming 'trade corridor' and what a boon it will be for economic development.
What they are missing is the pipeline for all the problems all the urban areas elsewhere have.
Crap!
I like living out here a few hundred miles from all that and over 100 from the nearest road the begins with an 'I'. If I want to go there I can, If I don't I can just stay home and enjoy it.
Time for someone to do another cut of The interstate is coming through the outhouse..
