[Mccoypottery-talk] Photos for selling on ebay, etc.

Hmmmm.  It seems the choice is to either
1) get revenge or
2) help fix the problem
Personally, I'd like to have both, but since I can't, I guess
my choice would be to try to fix the problem. 

It looks like the auto industry eventually faired pretty well --
it even started a new, higher quality car.  But with few (if
any) exceptions, they are all still gas guzzlers and are again,
shooting us in the foot.   Would I buy a car priced the same
as today's typical car, which made use of both gasoline and
alternative energy?   You bet I would -- no matter which
country made it. 

Don't get me wrong -- I know the factory workers do not
make the decision to make destructive or inferior products --
management does.  So, instead of being glad the rest of
the economy is in free fall, why not address the real issue --
preferential treatment for US corporations over US citizens. 

IMHO --
There is no doubt that the free trade movement started the
demise of the US.    However, the downhill slide has become
a massive landslide and  as long as people vote for ANY
current politician, he/she is supporting the status quo.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s, too.  ;-)

Ok.  I'll get off my soap box now. 
:-)
