It is your knowlege that is impressive, despite you being utterly wrong on the issues being discussed. BTW, we've gone way beyond the tactics described in the Wikpedia article...then again, the unions haven't been asleep either. It's all a modern version of the Great Game played by Russia and Great Britain a few centuries ago.
Bomelia...yeah well, what's your point?  |
Jamo,

Being and having been wrong is where I get all my strength.

Come over to the dark side, Jamo. We really need you and your experience. We're trying to save the evil American working middleclass Federation here.
You're right. Whether Monopoly, a chess game, Star Wars or cold war, we all love to play. And many believe the original Great Game frame design continues in Afghanistan and, perhaps, Iraq today.
Found the corporate boat race joke so I posted it in Jokes:

Bernie,
I never worked as a railroader per se in KC, Bernie. But funny you should mention it. I did attend several railroad training classes at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park. Always thought KC would be a great place to live.
If you did want to be close enough to wave at an intermodal train in KC you might have to use your passport in the near future:
"A Mexican customs facility planned for Kansas City's inland port may have to be considered the sovereign soil of Mexico as part of an effort to lure officials in that country into cooperating with the Missouri development project." 
More info here: (

While you're waving, be sure to salute the Mexican Flag flying over the Kansas City facility to generate foreign good will.
You've already helped, perhaps unwillingly, by your KC real estate taxes (unless KC doesn't have any):
"To date, the Kansas City Council has voted a $2.5 million loan to KC SmartPort to build the Mexican customs facility in the West Bottoms near Kemper Arena on city-owned land east of Liberty Street and mostly south of Interstate 670."
NAFTA Super-Corridor... one reason it might get ever harder to guard both our new and old borders from illegal aliens... so why even bother, eh?
Come over to the dark side, Bernie. We need you too. "Sold American" used to be something we only heard on a 60's tobacco TV ad.
