One of the principal reasons computers are so much more expensive in
Britain ---- and indeed in Europe writ large ---- is because of your
silly-buggers protectionist policies.

You simply shoot yourselves in the foot ---- and your citizens pay more.

Try Free Enterprise for a change ---- in preference to Socialism ---- and
Protectionism.

Deus Vult.

"All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a
dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside
themselves, the wild outside.

We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still
lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream."
