Smurf: Secondly no you won't be arrested for calling President Bush a fool in America. The police may come in and drag you out because you are making a scene but that would be all (in other words you would be asked forcibly to make like a tree and leave).
I dare you to try it! Where I live, if you call a police officer on obscenity, they can legally haul you off to a cell for the night for "disorderly conduct". Also, to sue the government, you need the government's permission. I think it's a better system than anything else, but calling it "free" is a stretch.
Siggy: Funny thing is, you're probably also promoting American industry more by doing it. That Subaru was more than likely built in country - and the Ford your dad bought is more than likely built out of the country.
If you live in America, it's hard not to promote American industry. But...
The Subaru I bought was built in Japan and shipped to America through the Panama Canal. So was the Impreza my brother-in-law bought. His WRX came off the very first shipment of 2000 Subarus in North America. :-)
It's worth pointing out that many Japanese cars are built or assembled in America. Toyotas, for example, are mostly made in California. Many of the parts still come from foreign countries, though.
As for Fords, I don't know for sure. But the window sticker says that 100% of engine and transmission parts are "made" in America. They also give a percentage of parts for the rest of the car, but I forget what it is. Of course, that assumes the numbers are accurate. I don't care enough about Ford to research it. ;-)
Wait... wasn't this forum about computers? This war is nothing more than a huge distraction. Where's the news coverage for the 2004 elections?!
