Why are you equating the right for someone, if offered, to take the job
of a striking worker with that of the illegal immigration situation?
Bravo!

And immigration officials are discouraged and threatened by the
government (ala Nancy Pelosi and others) if they enforce the laws on the
illegals. We are experiencing anarchy within our own government.

Thats very true. Just look at what the left is doing attacking Sheriff
Joe Arapio in Arizona. He's extremely popular with the Arizona citizens
but the left has been trying to stop him like crazy from going after
illegals and the companies that hire them.

Of course, but then you gotta remember that consumers are by-and-large
STUPID. I still run into people who think "Japanese cars are better than
American cars" no matter how many seized Toyota engines there are out
there. But the pendulum will eventually swing the other way when enough
people get burned in the pocketbook.

Ford's going to come out of this the big winner, GM the big loser.
Chrysler? Who knows yet, but I give them better odds than GM right now.

My niece just bought a Toyota Matrix. She thought it was a better car than
the Pontiac Vibe since it was a Toyota. She didn't believe me when I told
her they came off the same assembly line in California.

You are the only person I've ever seen, in the 20 years that I've been
reading and posting to usenet, to quote previous material using "---"
instead of indenting quoted material using a standard character (like >
).

You seem to be using Outlook Express. I'm sure it has the ability to
properly construct usenet posts by using the > character to indicate
quoted material. Why don't you use it properly?

Don't you see how you're the only one quoting in that manner?

But don't you rmember "---" from your youth?

This > indendation business has only arisen because that's what happens in
e-mail replies. It's not actually a quote in the grammatically correct
English sense.

If I were to quote you, say, correctly and show that your brain has been
overwritten ( :-) ) by computerisation over a long period I would show the
evidence like this: "You are the only person I've ever seen, in the 20
years..."

Not in usenet! > is used at the start of each line to break up each
persons quoted text for clarity. Quotation marks would not be used on
the start of each line so clarity is then lost.

Quotes would not be at the start of each line quoted and only around an
entire section. That would make multiple quotes less clear in usenet
and a quoted thread more difficult to read.
