"There it is! The ad hominem attack. No rebuttal, just a slander. The sure sign of a ost argument, in plain view for all lurkers and posters to see. Wheeeee!"

On second thought, I can’t let this one pass… Sorry my last post failed to conform to your previous “high” analysis and discussion like this:
"Nice try, but you look like a blathering fool now."

I’m sure you're “deeply saddened”.

I admit; you got me on that one! I should have let the post stand on facts without hurling names. I usually try to avoid doing that. I guess I was a little peeved because you were using insulting tones like sarcastic "brilliant", or "nonsense", instead of trying to argue facts. Whenever someone starts that, I tend to drop to their low level. I guess I'm too used to arguing with people who are intellectualy honest.

Your argument that usa labor will be better off (gain high paying jobs, lose low paying joys) was pr oven false in the 1700's, 1800's.

Take a look at the economies of the pre civil was north and south. In the south while labor had to compete with low cost slave labor. The result, dirt poor while people. In the north where was no low cost slave labor to compete against, the result, was much more prosperous society.

Conclusion? If the us government does nothing to protect usa labor from competition from low cost third world slave labor, then we like the poor whites of the old south will all be dirt poor. And you will be to blame for abject poverty that you are leaving your children.
