Well, if you mean putting a person on the moon, the contemporary USA isn't a threat to the USA of 50 years ago.

Have you ever considered going into stand-up comedy? That's pretty funny!

Maybe America should.

Although you ought to pay attention bobby and look how fast the Chinese car market has developed the add the fact that they'll be selling at a price at which no-one, apart from the Indians maybe, can compete.

Please, please tell me where I can buy a Chinese car in America.

Try your local Ford or Chevy dealer, a lot of parts are now made in China and some of them are assembled into the finished cars here.

Yes it is Bob, but your not funny at all, just sad.

I'm talking about cars, not parts, cars made by [the Chinese] and exported to us!

You clearly fail to understand the auto industry bob. Is it because you are still back in the '70s?

That's not all that Bob doesn't understand, in fact I don't think there is much that he does understand.

Perhaps you would expound on the philosophy of boredom, or amusement, take your pick.

I predict that my voting proposal is going to look better and better with every passing day.

One outcome of being voted into the cornfield could be double-secret probation, during which (with a programmer's help) certain words would be restricted from a person's posts. They would have to communicate without using any of those words. Think of how refreshing this would be!

Bob's list would include at a minimum:
Prophet
Divine
Mystical
Ouzo
Cincinnati
Rome
170 years
20 minutes
Queen City
Babylon
Revelation
Conservative Spiritual Counterfeits Project
Spokesman
Credentials
Salvation
AEP
American
U.S.
Boomerang

You're the one who fails to understand the auto industry. The U.S. makes and sells more goddamn cars in a single year than rickety-ass England does in a century, and the cars that you do make are only for royalty and the other ultra-rich.

You seem to forget that I'm a prophet of all things spiritual, political and economic.

You wouldn't know philosophy if it bit you in your fucking ass (oh, I'm sorry, arse!)!
