| #20 What AP said. When they lose market to American, Australian et al wines and beers, it's time for the crony bureaucratic apparatchiks to protect the domestic stuff from competition. Hence these type of artificial protective trade barriers they come up with. We're the stupid ones who keep on being played in the trade game. |

| #14 Russia's aggression prompts other nations to change names Vladimir Putin's recent intervention in Ukraine on the pretext of defending the ethnic Russian population has forced other former Soviet republics to look for ingenious ways to protect their own sovereignties from similar moves. On Monday, the Parliament of Kazakhstan, with a 25% ethnic Russian population and a 4,660 mile-long border shared with Russia, voted to rename the country 'New Illinois,' hoping to attract more American support for their territorial integrity. Kazakhstan's President, Nursultan Nazarbayev, is expected to sign the emergency bill into law by Wednesday, setting in motion a complex process for the Central Asian nation of almost 18 million people. A spokesman for the government in the capital city of Astana said that 'New Illinois' was chosen because US President Barack Obama was a state and then US Senator for the state of Illinois, and such a name change was more likely to get his attention and engender a strong enough reaction to the threat of foreign invasion |

| #8 US should get together with all non European cheeze makers and come up with standard names. In a generation (outside of Europe) the European names would be mostly forgotten. |

| #7 Unlike the EU, we are happy to share our labels. Take "Whiny-Ass Bitches", for example. Besides, as kids we called it Paramecium Cheese. |
