Now, I don't have a problem with foreigners owning large portions of our businesses. But I have a bit of a problem with foreign governments owning parts of our industry. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Yeah, I posted about the buyout of GE Plastics by SABIC and yes, it scares the hell out of me. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
