fair enough, but don't blame the Chinese...after all, they're playing by
rules many in your country like...i.e., no unions, low wages, no benefits,
no health care, as few holidays as possible, no pensions etc... BTW I feel
you about MallWart, but how do you feel about the big 3? Still buying
"domestic"? I was being harassed on the highway the other day by some
jackass in a big Dodge pickup who had one of those moronic bumper stickers
that said "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign" Apparently he had a
pickle up his ass about my 18 year old Honda Accord...that was built in
Tennessee...by Americans...



It was assembled in Tennessee, not built. The parts came from Japan
and the profits went back to Japan!

LOL.

And they built the factories with concrete and bricks imported from Japan,
imported genuine Japanese managers, assembly line workers and maintenance
people, fed them all with nothing but imported Japanese sushi and rice
flown
in on Japanese Airlines, and paid them in yen deposited only in Japanese
banks, right?


Same with Mexicans... they don't get paid in US currency in the US.

Huh? I pay my Mexicans in Yankee Federal Reserve banknotes. There is no
US Currency since 1913.

Even worse:

US Constitution:
Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant
Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any
Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill
of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of
Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

It is illegal for states to be paid in US currency. It's illegal for them to
pay you in US currency.

"make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts"

States also cannot seize property for payment of debt.

Now I've got it! Its been bothering me where I've heard Osama Obama's
(and Shrillery's also) speeches before and this thread has finally
reminded me - Castro's and Che Guavera's speeches in the late 50's to
early 60's. Not word for word of course, but the same ideas and concepts
and they way it is delivered. But of course those two pigs have also
declared publicly their admiration and friendship for the other dictator
in S.A. so no surprise there.

Check the parts content of a Chevy, Ford or Chrysler.

Thanks for quoting "Dave" gentlemen...reminds me again why he's in my
idiot bin. Funny how in little minds like his, it's okay for GM, Ford and
Daimler-Chrysler to trample each other in their haste to employ Mexicans,
while shipping the profits back to the US or Germany, but the Japanese
don't get to play the same capitalist game. Dimwit.

But as to Cuba, yes Fidel has had his time. The majority of the Cuban
people revere him and who's to argue with the will of the people and what
his revolution has done for the quality of their lives? And who
will not be aware of the pain and suffering caused by the inhuman enmbargo
imposed by a succession of hide-bound ideologues in White House.
America's shameful behaviour in this regard may see American business
excluded from Cuba's next economic revolution. In 2008, with the
economic power of Europe, the MidEast and China, who needs $US$ any
longer? Cuba will evolve it's institutions in time to look like the
social democracies that populate the UN's list of top countries in which
to live.

Cuba will evolve it's institutions in time..

Hardly. But meanwhile tell that to those suffering in poverty there. But
hey, you don't live there so it's easy for you to throw their lives away,
right?

thanks Bill...you are aware that what you've written makes you sound as
