Oh and, Americans, be prepared for the brain drain out of Canada to grow tremendously.  This is a good thing for you guys!   All the profitable Canadian, and probably some European and Japanese businesses, will now set up shop in the United States.

I can't wait to get there myself.

The brain drain is LEAVING the US, you fool.

Always knew the Australians were a smart bunch.  Also, Jfraud, the majority of countries here are developing and or low industrial nations.  And the rest are major exporters of oil and were smart enough to not sign something that hurts their interests.

Those countries tend to fall into 3 catagories
1. Really tiny
2. Pretty new countries
3. War torn or terrrorism supporting countries


There are also a few that are just poor.

Oh, and calling the US a terrorist nation is pretty uncalled for.

Only 1 country has been found guilty of terrorism by the world court.

Okay...The temperature at my house today was 39 degrees.

Gee, it's winter time, what do you expect?
Your data point does not disprove global warming.

Maybe you'll feel differently in August.
