I used to do a lot of business online, and I never appreciated the good Ol US of A more. Many other countries BS isolationist customs practices and taxes are unbelievable. Only so many people can tell you to declare it's value as $49 and mark it as a gift before you start to wonder why you should even bother shipping to those countries.
I'd probably be a die hard republican, burning tax and spend liberals in effigy if I lived in one of those countries. :P
