LOL. I can't help but laugh about the extraordinary growth of industry and personal freedoms in one of the few still mostly Communist nations in the world. King George threw all his resources into fighting the great war in the Americas prior to 1776 because he though it was Eden from the drawings, paintings and descriptions he was getting from all those that had been to America. Most of Europe had been deforested and the European countryside was becoming a barren place with few remaining trees. I'm sure that others in this world see America as Eden since satellite TV has no national borders the world had to shrink in the minds of some. Is it any wonder why so many people want to come to America, even at the risk of death to get here. Stan Wilder Engine Ceramics 214-352-4931 www.engineceramics.com |
