Marty, i fully agree with you. I have been
wondering for quite some time why on earth
we are selling valuable raw materials to other
countries when we could be using them ourselves
to produce good we really need.

(The real answer to my question leads to some
rather heavy political discussions, which I will
avoid almost completely here,other than to say --
please please: read what Michael Parenti has to
say. That will answer this question I posed.)
