i apologize for calling him a sheep - it's just that i get carried away sometimes with this argument. it's not one that anyone that enters the ring with me can win. it comes down to the almighty dollar, and people need to reinvest their dollar in the US if we are going to continue to be the economic super power that we once were.

funny thing is, we created japan's economy for them after WWII. we are always going around doing things that come back to bite us in the ass afterwards. i am all for a world economy and semi-free trade (as long as the scales are balanced), but the japanese have it all over us in many fields.

it's a shame, really, that we are wasting our number one resource: our people. only a third of our young people go on to college, while their percentage is way higher (in the 80%, i think). instead of some of this liberal arts ******** that people are teaching, why don't they teach bare bones economics so that, at least, the people who go to college would know better than to buy a foreign car...
