There is no "here" here. It's very sad. Very very very sad. According to the current regimes (both sides), corporations are people but people are garbage. It's sheer massive societal-scale suicide. Why are we doing this to our people? -drl

They want to line their pockets today because they don't give a crap about anyone else or the rest of the country more than 3 months out. The only thing that matters is their getting rich and making Wall St. happy today. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]

My maternal Grandfather, maternal Grandmother, paternal Grandmother, father, uncles and aunts all worked for Shufford Mills in rural NC. Those plants have been silent since I was an adolescent. I'm amazed that there are any textile plants in NC still operating. bcnu, Mikem "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." -Bertrand Russell
