Do they build houses from tropical hardwoods in your part of the

You don't happen to live in the USA perchance? (Not that I believe for
one moment that USAns build their houses in their homes or places of
work. (Unless you are Bill Gates that is.))


I'm in USA, mountains of western North Carolina. This region has a lot

of
dirt poor people as well as multi-multi-million dollar homes. You

apparently
didn't read what I posted.

No it's not used in studs in the walls. It's used where it's seen, like
floors and decks and lasts forever.

I was researching some material that was used in building a dock (on the
water) that was said to last a lifetime. That's when I discovered most

of
the old growth tropical forests, especially in the small island

countries
have been totally decimated for the wood. To be honest with you, before

my
research, I was not familiar with those tropical woods at all. I

certainly
don't advocate using them, just a shame that the "bill gates" of the

world
in a quest for those woods has led to their almost total destruction in

the
last 40 or 50 years.

It's my understanding that most of the pacific islands have been

virtually
stripped, with no old growth forests left. I detest that regardless of

where
it's done.

It's not just the forests, "modern man" as torn this old world all to

hell
in the last 100 years and it's not just the usa.


I was referring to the other poster. He seems remarkably lacking in
insight. Sorry I insulted your nation but "you" did vote for a chimp:~)

I haven't voted since I was 18.

But you are right about Tory BLiar. He was voted in as a mark of
disrespect to the Conservatives (Tories) who were every bit as corrupt
as Bushco.

So there are just as many dupes over here as there are over there. In
the 60's and 70's the secret service of both the UK and the USA was
actively undermining the opposition and ruling Labour (Socialist)
party. In the 70's it lead to anarchy here, then the Tories got in and
found they were ruling a ship they had sunk.

Then Margaret Thatcher (Ronnie's arse-kisser) got power and sold
everything down the river. After selling the crown jewels she was
booted out by her own yes-men and they turned out to be blatantly
corrupt.

Tory BLiar was seen as the new redeemer of Socialism. But he turned
out to be Maggie II. Even had her blood lust for warring with nations
we were at peace with. Maybe he was thinking to bribe Bushco to end
the IRA's grass root support over there?

Was killing 1.2 unarmed Iraqis worth it? I don't happen to think so.
