I have seen a couple of incorrect statements in this thread. I was in manufacturing about 5 years ago until I was laid off and About 8 years ago they closed the last factory that made TV's here in American. So there are no TV manufactures to suffer.
Some one mention that we are the only Imperial Power I beg to Differ China Just signed aggreement with several countries to establish military bases overseas to protect their trade routes.
I disagree that we are an Imperial power yet. I think we are still in our Republic Phase and if Things continue along with the federal Government being strong we won't switch over to Imperilism for another 20 years or so. (a cataylist for Empire is to have Military Units that no one cares if they are destroyed or not GEO points out a news article on the development of Robot soldiers built right here in America new Jobs for American Manufcturing anyone?)
And what could be so wrong about an American Imperium? Most people would benifit from it. Some one mentioned being able to drink from their toilet well I bet a lot of folks would be glad if America was in charge and they could drink from their american made Toilets.
