Joe, Sorry for all the bad news. I do have to chime in on the business sale issue, tho, as the racial portion is a bit overboard. Even if every bit of what you reported is true (and I suspect it isn't entirely accurate), I'm forced to wonder two things (not to irk you further...just to maybe put a different spin on things)- 1- *IF* I offered you three times your asking price for an item....would you turn me away? Seriously. "Here's $50,000 for that Gremlin, as is, right now." You gonna pass that up? 2- Our fellow 'whiteys' didn't exactly seem too concerned about stealing (not buying) all this property from its rightful owners a few hundred years ago. Anybody feel like paying up now? It's all in the perspective. Here we have an Indian or Arab (you didn't specify 'rag' type) who imigrated (as our forefathers did) to build a better life. OUR government (yours and mine) offers him incentives you and I can't get to build his business (not his fault- ours) and he Takes proper advantage of that. Hiring practices- everybody hires and fires based on personal preferences and financial considerations. Can't fault him there either. Just as he may not want your wife there (cuz his friends/family/countrymen will work for less pay), you might not have 'ragheads' at your company...if you had one. That said- I agree that the sale of American property and institutions will only lead to ruin in the long run, but if you've worked for any 'suit', you know they are only concerned with the figures for this month. Capitalism does not care about us at the bottom. Its about squeezing something for all its worth, then tossing it aside- Emron being the most visible example (tho few even understand what really went on there). In the end, the fault is entirely ours and our elected officials whom we empower with our ignorance. Because we vote based on stupid criteria instead of getting really imformed on the issues and how each votes on those issues, we get exactly what we deserve. We listen to the TV when they tell us a third- party candidate can't win...and because we don't want to be on the losing side of anything, we change our vote....and that fulfills the prediction of the TV. Most of us can't name Al Gore's running mate in 2000. But we can all sing the Gilligan's Island theme. I seriously doubt this nation will ever see its 300th birthday. I won't be around to know if I get proven wrong, but a serious change it the status quo would be required, and the 'haves' ain't about to change. Our only power to fix it is to get informed and get involved BEFORE bad things happen- not to complain after. But we're all too busy with American Idol to give a shit...'til it hurts us specifically.
