This just came across the BSN News Flash

The Canadian Federal and Provincial Ministries of the Environment have both requested the
RCMP to look into allegations that certain loggers and suppliers of spruce trees from the Terrace regions of British Columbia have been spiking the trees with Viagra before logging to increase the woods stiffness for the building of stringed musical instruments.

The implications that "drugged" and genetically manipulated hybrid trees are being used in the production of guitars and violins has shaken the stringed musical instrument market to the core.

"No wonder the Keith Richards and Jimmy Hendricks were so good," says luthier Iusa Jigs, "they were in harmony with the wood in their guitars"

American Lobbyists are eagerly awaiting the RCMP findings but rumblings of unfair trade
practices have already been heard in Washington claiming the importing of "genetically altered hybrid, drugged up trees" from British Columbia have been hurting the Adirondack Spruce tone wood market of eastern USA and must be stopped all costs"

It has been claimed that spruce tone wood from this area is the stiffest in the world.

As of yet guitar Manufactures like Martin, Gibson and Fender have failed to return our calls.

Shane...can you perhaps shed some light on these allegations of "drugged up trees" from B.C.?

You can get four hour sustain.

seems to me a little deflection testing would put this overzealous marketing to bed. Anyone have any input. I'm SURE someone must have put this to the test.

Does anyone see Alice...???

Man, this thread is diverging! Padma started it though...

Das right, me started the thread, but refuse to be held responsible or even fingered out for all of your insanities, unless of course it is a collective insanity shared by the universal subconsciousness of our beings. (Pm me for translation)

Anyways, other than severing up mushrooms, I hear Alice opted out of the restaurant business after hooking up with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

No matter, you can still get anything you and, I mean this is America right?

...except affordable health care...

Consistent with every other major industrialized country (except the U.S.), government health care in Mexico is universal as is in Canada and France. (France has possessions in North America and as such France, Canada, USA and Mexico are considere the 4 countries of North America so twist that up in your pipe and some it dudes) So by a majority of 3 to 1, American have health care, although it seams that US Americans do not...Oh well.

Is sad that the United States don't gotts no affordable health care. I thought that was part of Obamas campaign BS.
