BB, I'd readily concede that manufacturing prowess WAS an absolute necessity for US economic growth. I'm not convinced that it IS necessary today or WILL be in the future. I'm less convinced that the manufacturing must be done in my home town, state or country. Just as the number of Agrarian workers has sharply reduced during the past century, such will be the fate with manufacturing jobs. Automation, globalisation and increasing electronic content are irresistible trends. And I further believe that as this electronic revolution progresses, the average quality of life will continue to improve. The latter is my opinion. Not Milton F's. And I've been known to be wrong on occasion. Best wishes, Ian
