You think that was good, after the Vega experience we decided surely a Ford
product couldn't be as bad. But we changed our minds after the right front
wheel fell off our Granada at about 50 mph. Exciting. It was still under
warranty, too, but after hours of argument eventually the dealer broke down
and called in a guy from Ford itself to refuse to cover the repair.

Clouds have I dreamt too
clouds in and out of view
drifting like drift wood
on the waters of our time
time plays trick on the soul
its all time and space
relative to your heart beats
find where your going

Yes, and we *know* they're in "violation of the NPT" because the same
geniuses are telling us this that told us that Iraq "clearly" had WMD.

It is simply a modern version of the way it has always been,
since stone age man picked up a rock to throw at another stone age man
who promptly picked up a larger heavier rock to aim back.
They were quarreling over living space back then
and we still are today

The person whose post to which you refer does not speak for anyone but himself - the way the posts of China bashers in this forum do not speak for the majority but their own frustrated selves.

Hey 'J', that was before nuclear weapons.
When Islamic fundamentalists get their hands on enough of them it will not be a case of having a concience about wiping out Infidels, it will be 'All OK' since it will be 'The will of Allah'
An imaginary god could well be the justification for the end of civiliation as we know it.
The last bastion against the creeping Islamic death cult can only be China

It is a plausible theory. There is no such thing as Hindus. You know that.
So why do you use such silly arguments that Hindus don't kill other Hindus?

Wow. It was Maria the Jewess of Alexandria, a chemical engineer by
today's standards and a founder of the school of chemistry, who
invented distillation and many types of stills and reflux condensers in
a late 3rd century BC, well before year 800 AD.

Wal-Mart to Hire Up to 150,000 in China
By MARCUS KABEL, AP Business Writer Mon Mar 20, 4:55 PM ET
BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to hire up to 150,000
employees in China over the next five years, five times its current
work force there, as it expands its number of stores, the company said
Monday.
Wal-Mart has targeted China, which has long been a major supplier of
its products, as a key region for its international store growth. It
now has 56 stores in China with about 30,000 employees and plans to
open 20 more stores this year.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Amy Wyatt declined to say how many stores the
Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer will add longer term. Wal-Mart
generally only makes public projections one year at a time for its new
store plans in the U.S. and internationally.

I guess it would be hypocritical of WM to fly an American flag at its

NYPD Hails "Pre-emptive" Arrests, Covert Ops on Activists

NYC Police Reports Claim Pre-emptive Arrests Are Successful
New York, March 20 (RHC)-- Five internal reports made public recently
in New York City as part of a lawsuit show local police commanders had
successfully used "proactive arrests," covert surveillance and
psychological tactics at political demonstrations in 2002, and
recommend that those approaches be employed at future gatherings.
The New York Times reports that among the most effective strategies,
according to one police commander, was the seizure of demonstrators on
Fifth Avenue who were described as "obviously potential rioters." The
reports provide a rare glimpse of internal police evaluations and
strategies on security and free speech issues that have provoked sharp
debate between city officials and political demonstrators.
The reports also made clear what the police have yet to discuss
publicly: that the department uses undercover officers to infiltrate
political gatherings and monitor behavior. One of the documents -- a
draft report from the department's Disorder Control Unit -- proposed
in blunt terms the resumption of a covert tactic that had been
disavowed by the city and the federal government 30 years earlier.
Under the heading of recommendations, the draft suggested, "Utilize
undercover officers to distribute misinformation within the crowds."
Asked about the proposal, Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the
Police Department, said: "The N.Y.P.D. does not use police officers in
any capacity to distribute misinformation."
In another report, a police inspector praised the "staging of massive
amounts" of armored vehicles, prisoner wagons and jail buses in the
view of the demonstrators, writing that the sight "would cause them to
be alarmed." Besides the draft report, the documents released
yesterday included four final reports written by commanders to assess
police performance during the World Economic Forum, which met in New
York in early 2002.
According to Daniel M. Perez, the lawyer representing activists
arrested at an animal rights demonstration, the police tactics
"punish, control and curtail the lawful exercise of First Amendment
activities." Perez maintains that the police documents, taken
together, show a policy of pre-emptive arrests.
It was noted that the proposal to use undercover officers to spread
misinformation -- which the New York City police claim was not adopted
- -- recalled the actions of undercover agents and officers who spread
lies and acted as agent provocateurs among protesters who opposed the
Vietnam War during the 60s and 70s, as well as COINTELPRO operations
carried out by the FBI.
