By the way there was another thread last night when the persons solution was the break up of the USA into a number of seperate nations by force if necessary. He felt force would not be necessary. I did not go into a long and detailed rebuttal as what he posted was such that IMHO it was far m,ore damaging to the Free Trade agrument than anythging I could have come up with.

If you checked my response to Arne I did not flae him but did point out his personal abuse.
Yes, I read it - you continued the debate without flaming. Good for you. You've learned to try and rise above it.

Tough to start with such an outlandish scenario (force used to break up the USA) and try to make sense of it. Yep, gotta let that one try to stand on it's own merits (or not).
