Re: [sharechat] Re: Sars etc

Hi again all,

Actually I haven't seen any Kiwi wines here, but we have been flooded with 
Aussie (OK, I'll wash my mouth out for the Kiwi's on the site) wines that are 
very good for the price.  On our trips to NZ I not only consumed your wines but 
at one time held shares in Corp. Investments which later on went into wine 
making.  You should also understand that I live in California.  The wines here 
(many of them) are supreb, as good as the French for about 40% of the price.

Tell you what though, I'll look around at my favorite shops and see if I can 
find any good Kiwi grape squeezings.

Have a great weekend and uncork a bottle for me,

Allan

[sharechat] Re: Sars etc<br><br><br>><br>> Yes, I drink your beer, always when 
I'm in NZ and even sometimes here in<br>San Diego,  Steinlarger is a fairly 
good beer.  Goes well  with your green<br>lipped muscles and some good Ciopinno 
sauce. (of course I add, shrimp, crab<br>legs, clams etc.  Any othe

<br><br>> <br>> First of all, 
 HAPPY ANZAC DAY to everyone.  If the<br>technology had been more advanced 
perhaps some of you could email me some of<br>those cookies. <br>> <br>> Common 
cold hasn't been cured because it does not<br>threaten thousands of lives.  
(yes, I happen to believe AIDS is a completely<br>different ballgame) <br>> 
<br>> I don't know many Kiwi's that like Helen<br>Clark -- perhaps I just know 
the right one's.  Her pronouncements have<br>almost no currency here in the US. 
 I find absolutely no animosity toward<br>the Kiwi's for not actively backing 
the US in the Iraqi war. <br>> <br>> To<br>those of you who think we're going 
to engage in a big retaliation program,<br>well I'll turn it back on you -- YOU 
DO NOT know the Americans very well.<br>Yes we are a patriotic lot, to be sure 
(especially since 9/11) but,we are<br>also very diverse in our culture, our 
society and our politics.  France and<br>Germany are get<br>>  ting all the 
flak, because we pulled France's fanny out of the fire tw
 ice<br>and many suspect both France and Germany had economic interests that 
kept<br>them from backing the effort. I know of no economic interest that 
colored<br>NZ's decision. <br>> <br>> I might also point out that I don't live 
under a<br>rock.  I'm fairly well plugged in and haven't heard so much as a 
hint that<br>NZ is on the black list.  We still use Fisher & Paykel products at 
my Health<br>Maintenance Organization, stores still sell Fisher & Paykel 
appliances, and<br>most of the muscles I see in our stores are from NZ to say 
nothing of the<br>Lamb.  Don't worry, be happy, we're not your enemy. <br>> 
<br>> In all<br>fairness to the French, they pulled our fannies out of the fire 
too, at the<br>very begining, when we had our disagreement with George, and we 
were very<br>thankful for that.  That however was 200+ years ago and over the  
past 25<br>years or so they have been flacid in their support of many of our 
efforts.<br>(legitimate ones)<br>>   We do have a question for
  the French and Germans -- if you get in<br>trouble -- who are you going to 
call? A. Sadaam Insane  B. Russia<br>C.Japan<br>> D. North Korea  E. Raratonga  
F. The United States.  Even a<br>Frenchmen could figure that out. <br>> <br>> 
But seriously, I don't think<br>any economic boycott is going to befall NZ 
because of this. <br>> <br>><br>Enjoy your holiday and quit worrying. <br>>
