America. Can't have that. I mean, they might pack up and take it back
to Mexico or something.
Wait a minute, isn't Britain (another foreign place) the largest non-US
owner of property in the US? And don't we (the USA) own huge amounts of
foreign property (gasp) in other countries?
Sorry, I don't see the excitement.

Tell you what.
Let's negotiate the town, ANY TOWN that Al Sharpton lives or

Hell, i would be in favor of giving the Whole of Texas back to Mexico
except
the Mexicans are too smart to take it.....
Oh, hell, that's a really smart thing to post on a news group called
Texas guns. I think that the statement is analogous to yelling "Fire"
in a crowed theatre.

Might as well, the KCM&O (Kansas City, Mexico and Orient) Railroad
has been mismanaged since its inception. Never did extend the
track to Kansas City, over a decade behind schedule crossing into
Mexico, and never did carry the Orient trade.

Austin would be the one part of Texas which would be good to
see out of here. They don't call it "Moscow on the Colorado"
for nothing.

create a legal fiction or become a citizen to own Mexican land. Most
countries do not allow the foreign ownership of land without heavy
restriction not placed on citizens. There is a very real danger in
allowing foreign ownership. Many kinds of abuses can take place,
including protection of illegal activity. If the land owner has the same
rights of ownership accorded citizens then they might deny entry. Not a
good thing. d'geezer

Nice to have you back Mike. Right on target of course. The Tsongas
National Forest in SW Alaska is nearly gone, all under a contract with
Japan to help rebuild after W.W.II. The Tsongas was the largest
Temperate Rain forest in the world. We practically gave it away to Japan
the prices were so low, locked in, I believe, at about 1950 prices.
Other nations to not reciprocate when it comes to allowing us ownership
of their lands. By the way, want to guess which country holds the most
mining rights to gold bearing lands in the US? Let's say the winning
side in the American Revolution is not winning in that area. I hear they
have other major interests in mining natural resources in this country.
Here is a piece of useless but interesting trivia. The stone in Princess
Diana's engagement ring came from a mine owned by Canadian interests
from a place called Yogo Gulch in Montana. Probably one of the biggest
Yogo corundums ever mined from that locale and unavailable from anywhere
else in the world, a pale blue with extremely brilliant highlights, the
Yogo Gulch stones are sapphire. This one a gift to the Royal family from
the Canadian owners. d'geezer

Excuse me, but isn't that what search warrants are for? Foreign ownership
of American real estate does not impart some sort of diplomatic immunity to
the real estate. Only official government operation such as Embassies and
Consulates are entitled to diplomatic immunity.

A friend of mine from England (Bristol to be precise) tells a story
which may illustrate the matter. It seems there was a Texan who was
living in Bristol. He was a large man, well over 2 metres and weighing
better than 10 stone. He found fault with just about everything which
wasn't the way it was in Texas. He died and the undertaker had a
difficult time finding a coffin large enough to hold the body until he
called it quits, gave the dead Texan an enema, and buried him in a
shoebox.
There are things that Texans can learn from people outside of Texas but
before anyone can learn, they first have to admit that they don't have
all the answers. And there are a lot of Texans who seem to have
difficulty with that idea. Or maybe just have a lot more bluster which
makes it seem that way.

Personally, I would expand Texas to apply to all Towns, States, Countries
and Continents. Obviously "all" people from Texas are not as closed minded
and biased as what has been illustrated in the previous posts. However, we
all see this attitude from persons everyday of the week and throughout the
world, not just in Texas. Sure there are a lot of Texans that need to be
able to admit they don't have all the answers... but this is also true of
people everywhere in the world... I am not defending anyone, especially
from Texas... just agreeing and expanding upon your stated point...

other countries and corporations based in other countries do. Chrysler
is owned by the Germans, several newspapers (and S&W) by the British,
but the nationality with the largest dollar-stake in the US is (I
believe) Holland. HOLLAND? The DUTCH?
Yes. The company is called Royal Dutch Shell.

Man: "Has the noon train to Mexico City arrived yet?"
Agent: "No, Senor."
Man buys a ticket. Thirty minutes later, the train puffs in. Man tries
to board.
Conductor: "I'm sorry, Senor, this ticket, she is no good."
Man: "Isn't this the train to Mexico City?"
Conductor: "Si, Senor."
Man: "Well, what's the problem?"
Conductor: "Your ticket is for today's train. This train is
YESTERDAY'S train. Today's train won't be here until tomorrow."

For a taste of the genuine Texas, go to

This is rated as one of the best in America. You can also get this on
the B.B.C. but I don't know if its better then this or not.

Hmmmmm... well, 6'7" is tall, but I wouldn't go so far as to
categorize someone that tall weighing 140 pounds as "large"...
scrawny, maybe, but not large.
