To hell with Japan and Europe. We Americans need to worry about feeding
*AMERICA*, and piss on the rest of the world until that gets
accomplished. Once that goal has been reached, sure... Feed the rest of
the planet if we've got any left. Until that time, this country needs to
pull its nose back a few thousand miles and, to get a bit biblical, stop
worrying about the motes, whether real or imagined, in its neighbors'
eyes, and start paying attention to the million board-feet of lumber
stacked in BOTH of its own.
