		<description>I know it seems appropriate to impose tariffs ... But I might argue that the real problem lies in that if tariffs are imposed ..China can do a myriad of other things to us ..to put us in the penalty box.  Sell off the $1trillion in reserve currency.. pummeling the US dollar 20-30 % over night ...which would cause a sharp incline on anything we import.  Sounds great for your argument right ..then we just make it at home.. well not so easy when the industries we outsourced in the name of efficiency does not even exist here anymore.  And there would be tremendous pain felt by the majority.. that rely on the inexpensive goods..</description>

Not sure if it is relevant to the recent proposal but worth looking at.  It certainly shows that someone was on the inside track.</description>

		<description>About Billy Bob Thornton:

I was totally shock to see him and hear him going to an other country and act like a stupid looser. I hope he will never succeed with his loosing band and that he never set foot in Canada again. I will destroy the only CD I have and will never, again see an other of his movie. Get sick soon looser.</description>
