I won't comment any other way than "Right on! you are absolutely
right Bill".
I cannot write any further facts that support you since I have been
told not to make political comments here but you are absolutely
right what you said.
Rest of the members of this list should watch Ridley Scotts Blade
Runner-movie since it has pretty accurate view of future when world
is economically dominated by asian superpowers China and Japan.
Meanwhile I keep enjoying smooth ride and beautiful looks of Peugeot.

industries, now we're seeing even GM struggling, because
everyone is afraid to restrict the flow of imports.

French have never attacked us militarily, nor have they tried to
undermine us economically. The Italians are allowed 0.7% in the
Japanese market, and that's, in turn, what the Italians allowed the
Japanese in theirs. Why can't we offer the Japs the same share of
our market as they allow us, as did the Italians?
