There ain't no Jesus, therefore, no such event. -LOL ! No... I think I understand what you and LL are saying... and he mentioned it already... It is EDUCATION where the safety net is. High technology and science is where it is at, unfortunately we have a very complacent general population and a bunch of Unions that are dreaming, or they are under the influence of who knows what drug... That is the real enemy... our failure to realize what we need to do in order to counter simple facts. Facts such as the third world is full of people that are willing to work for next to nothing. At the same time, the US is a victim of its own success... I mean you went out and taught all the manufacturing and business principles to the rest of the world... I mean you were the ones that invented capitalism and told Europe that monarchies were history, told Latin America that "Conquistadores and tyrannical Presidentes" are now passee... and told China, Russia and every other Communist nation they were wet in their pants with their idiotic philosophies.... The only ones you have not ben able to convince to change their idiotic bombing ways are the Middle East Muslims... (and I doubt you or anyone else ever will)... they are dumber than Moonshiners. -gg So... The rest of the world said... ok... we'll do it your way... And with the help of technology.... Enter cheap labor and efficient manufacturing processes OUCH... uppercut to the chin... Now, we are scrambling to fit in this new world... Be careful what you wish for.... because it may just come true.... I must run, I wil be back later... [gotto go talk to a couple of bankers with barrels full of money to lend... --cheap--] LOL !!
