Doug;

I think the point is obvious! This ”thread drift” is a Republican conspiracy to get everyone off of the original topic of “Free Trade”. This is the tactic used by the Bush Administration – avoid reality and present any other topic to get the minds of “the little people” off track. The techniques used include pacification and indirection, and neglect a meaningful resolution to the problems and questions of “Free Trade”! Now everyone smile and be “good ol boys” because that’s the way it is.

If any large corporations or wealthy individuals want to give me a few million dollars for my political campaign please do so. I am running on the platform of “Get Rid of Computers Now”, and “Let’s Go Back to the Paper Office”. In reality we will save paper, which was the promise of the computer (paperless office), and we have ended up using much more. Do not tell the lumber and paper companies my plan or the lumber jacks. I am out to “Save the Trees”!

Yikes! I have fallen into the Republican Trap - I have added to the Thread Drift! :)
