Hi everyone! Hey Gimpy! Great to see you back.

My only comment on all of this is......All of us hate seeing jobs go over seas.....but it has to happen. The $30 light bulb is a great example. I was a United Steelworker twice, a United Mine Worker, once, and a Teamster twice. Talk to me about companies and unions.

Now, I just hope Germany and Japan, not to mention many other foreign country's, don't think the same way. I know a BMW plant in SC, a Nissan Plant in Tenn, and a Mercedes Plant, in Alabama that if these foreign countries decide to not "outsource" will put thousands of workers out of jobs, just in those 3 plants. It does go both ways.

My Cent and a half. (Don't have 2 cents on me....Deb got into my wallet)

Packo

(Welcome back my Southern Brother!)

Fair enough, my bad.

Gimp -

We've been in agreement on the statements a lot of times, but just not on the means or conclusions to be drawn.

I've got myself in trouble on those matters a time or seven... with purt near everyone (lost my black star over it today...)

But, jus' so ya know... I don't hold with the right or the left, don't like them commies nor them fascistas, nor them who tends toward those inclinations.

Kerry is an opportunistic wannabe, period. He's got nothin' to offer except for "change", which don't mean squat after Slick Williamness desecrated our nation.

Dubya is a fine man, in the heart place, and so I'm stickin' with the CINC in time of war.

Dat be it Boss !

There's another way.
