I post an answer to each one of your points and all you can do is be embarrassed and make some inane comment. Thank for once again showing your true colors.
Thought you had said you were putting me on ignore!!!

Your posts are inane and fail most of the time to address serious issues in a serious manner so you get the posts you deserve. When you post crap I'll fling it back. What's with the chicken little quote by the way? Self-reflection Gorty?

Can't even come up with original insults now, have to regurgitate mine. You may not have gotten the chicken little comment, even though it was pretty much spelled out for you, but I am pretty sure that other people who actually use their education got it.

Seems to me you claimed I was going back on ignore bailey. Yet another of your idle threats? Seems that is the only kind you know how to make.

As usual, I am on the right side of this issue as this latest news release has the US agreeing to Canadian demands that these stupid border policies be postponed by at least 18 months (and then hopefully forever).

U.S. legislators agree on extending passports deadline

By BETH GORHAM

WASHINGTON (CP) - American legislators have taken a major step toward granting the extension Canada wants on a deadline for tough new identification measures at the border.

A bipartisan committee of top senators and representatives agreed late Monday to a 17-month delay in requiring passports or another high-technology document from everyone crossing into the United States by land.

The measure is part of a spending plan for the Homeland Security Department and observers expect it will pass Congress this week before legislators hit the campaign trail for mid-term elections in November

If you read the report you linked to not even the Candians think this will be forever. And it does not address air and sea travel. So all you folks leaving from vancouver for the Alaskan Crruises, get your passposrts ready. Of course you could leave from Seattle instead.

According to the article above, the planned passport requirements for US and Canadian citizens wishing to enter the US has already started to damage tourism in both countries. When will someone with common sense in the Bush Administration put a stop to this silliness?
Canada could put an instant stop to it - just cut off the electricity, oil, wood, etc. that you ship to the US!

That is something he has been threatening for as long as I have been on the board. His problem is that Canadian leaders are slightly more rational than he is.

And we would rather buy it from you since you get most of your imports from us. Thank you by the way.

Bailey, once again you show you have nothing to add. I have told you and told you how I feel about the spelling issue. Either learn to live with it or put me back on ignore as you have so often said you were going to. Either way it doesn't matter to me, but forget about getting me to worry about spelling in a document that doesn't does not affect my financial well being.
