How do the goods get here from Central and South America? Rail? Trucks? Planes?

There used to be a map somewhere showing an overall plan. I don't even remember the site, so I can't go look for it.

Anyway, the plan was to develop in terms of "economic zones", and it showed the planned transportation hubs. It was mostly rail and trucking.

Eh? I don't get the connection.

OK, if you look at #6 and #10, you will see that I responded to your smart-a$$ comment that a union would be

hypocritical, two-faced, double-talking, back-stabbing, frauds.

I was pointing out that corporate America, the Pubbie handlers, have been taking all the two-faced, double-talking, back-stabbing, fraudulant honors of late.

It's my attempt to show reflexivly anti-union FReepers that their gods (corporations and their Pubbie goons) are just as deceitful as the unions of yore.

Ah, now I see what you are saying. You can't refute any of what I say so you resort to the tired old tactic of moral relativism.

Well, in case you hadn't noticed, all of the corporations you mentioned have been called on the carpet and had officers arrested and charged with crimes.

All but one, that is. The lone corporation that has yet to be held accountable is Global Crossing. Yes, the same Global Crossing that big-time DemocRAT fund-raiser Terry McAuliffe "invested" in and turned a 1,000 dollar investment into 100 thousand dollars.

Or, wait a minute.....was it big-time DemocRAT fund-raiser Hillary Clinton that did that?

Hmmmmmm.
