(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:~) |

Sorry I insulted your nation but "you" did vote for a chimp:~) Ya, probably so, but you played follow the leader ! 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. |
