At the cost of not wholly insignificant risk? -- "It\ufffds possible to build a reasonably prosperous society that invests in its people, doesn\ufffdt invade its neighbors, opposes Israel and stands up to America.

The saving may not seem too significant (and more was probably expected), but times a zillion pairs of shoes it still adds up, and that money goes entirely to the fabled "bottom line" where it can be skimmed. A penny saved is a penny to steal. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Still, kinda hard to swallow. -- "It\ufffds possible to build a reasonably prosperous society that invests in its people, doesn\ufffdt invade its neighbors, opposes Israel and stands up to America.
