LOL!! Fuck China. Let them sell their cheap ass shit to someone else. If not for use they would all be in working in rice paddies. John
Good idea only problem is Mexico is about as corrupt as a country can get. Only about 20 families own most of the land down there and it is very difficult to get anything done without bribery. John
LOL, Europe has more public debt as a % of GNP then the US and run bigger deficits as a % of GNP then the US. Europe is fucked big time and they have no one to turn too to bail them out. John

from about.com: "Green Tea * Pluck the very youngest leaves and leaf buds. * Blot the leaves dry, and let dry in the shade for a few hours. * Steam the leaves (like you would vegetables) on your stove for about a minute. * For a different flavour, try roasting them in a skillet for 2 minutes instead of steaming. * Spread the leaves on a baking sheet and dry in the oven at 250F for 20 minutes. * Store the dried tea leaves in an air-tight container" Wow. Intense.
