Restarting Keystone XL. But, do we really need it amymore? Seems like Alberta has become a basket case.

Keystone XL would be very helpful in making Alberta not a basket case any longer. :)

Do you know any of these people, cause the "mark of Cain" thing made you sound like an idiot.
Baptist segregation

The split between the Northern and Southern Baptist organizations arose over doctrinal issues pertaining to slavery and the education of slaves. At the time of the split, the Southern Baptist group used the curse of Cain as a justification for slavery. Some 19th- and 20th-century Baptist ministers in the Southern United States taught that there were two separate heavens; one for blacks, and one for whites.[22] Baptists have taught or practiced various forms of racial segregation well into the mid-to-late-20th century, though members of all races were accepted at worship services.[23] In 1995, the Southern Baptist Convention officially denounced racism and apologized for its past defense of slavery.[24]


I just don't think all of them are over it.  But I admit to using hyperbole.

I will take that a no.  You don't know any of them.  What you said was stupid.  It's like saying Quebeci separatists want to create an Islamic state because of Vathek.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I've pulled out all my investments from the US and redirected them to Asia and Europe.  Way too much volatility in the US right now.  Once Trump's 8 years are over and the US enters its reconstruction phase and get solidly implanted as a "recovering economy", kinda like Mexico, then it'll be time to reinvest there.

Might want to look up what the word "volatility" means before misusing it again.

The Minsky Moment

There was a real lost opportunity on TPP.  I though Abe was going to step up and rename it the Trump Pacific Partnership in order to get it through but he wasn't quick enough.

In better free trade news, CETA has cleared the EU Trade Committee and it's set for ratification in February.

Yay, tariff-free maple syrup!  <_<  :P

Do I look like I associate with people that will constantly judge me? :)

What is the link between Quebec and Vathek?

It's addictive.  And it's good for your health when consumed raw as it's filled with vitamin C.  This is what saved the French accompanying Cartier during their first winter.

Also, you might discover real fine cheese that doesn't explode when you turn on the lights. :P

I don't get the deal with maple syrup.  It can't tell the difference from the fake stuff.

:blink: Really?  The fake stuff is just HFCS with maple flavor added.  Totally different texture/consistency.  The real stuff is much less thick.

I might be spoiled because I used to get the real shit by the gallon in Vermont, and even still I found a place in southern Indiana that produces and bottles it (one of the southernmost sugar shacks in the US I believe).

My ex mother in law told me once she preferred Aunt Jemima over real maple syrup.

I wanted to cave her skull in with a golf club for that comment. :mad:
