Good observation about the RWEs total lack of content. If that was the only "content problem", that would be an improvement. They can't even deal with content. Consider the "Free Trade" Bush Administration; they talk a lot about free trade. They've thrown two separate trade tariffs against Canada for soft lumber; steel tariffs against who knows how many countries; increased farm subsidies by 65% [double whammy on that one, since Bush campaigned over getting rid of farm subsidies]; special tax breaks to industries with foreign plants [a subsidy disguised as a tax break]. Europe has retaliated twice with tariffs on US products. There's a shortage of rolled carbon steel in the US [Honda is planning on air shipping rolled carbon steel from Japan]. It's estimated that the US will lose 10 jobs for every steel job it saves with these wonderful steel tariffs, the cost of steel is up affecting the consumer costs of one hell of a lot of products. Lumber prices are up, estimated increase in the cost of a home is $1,500. Oh, almost forgot one. This one is so sad it's funny. Under the "Open Skies" program [a trade initiative to have more international airline access], the UK proposed additional access of airlines between the US and UK. More access of US airlines to the UK; more access of UK airlines to the US. That's kind of a free trade thing, isn't it? The US negotiator "faxed" the one page response back to the UK. The proposal was rejected; no counter proposal was offered and the US trade negotiator rejected the thought of future negotiations. The conservatives, of course, believe that the Bush Administration is for "free trade"; he does say it frequently and loud. jttmab
