    Minor factual error:

    I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

    Sorry, not true.

    Airbus make nice planes. Many airlines use them for international flights. The A330 (2 engines) is licensed for over-water flights under similar provisions to those that apply to the Boeing 767.

    .aero is probably for those involved in aerospace type dealings, like those poor, dejected businesses like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Airbus.</Sarcasm>

    Though the .museum concept actually does sound like a fair idea, IMO. Put most of the museum sites in one TLD so you can organize them easily. Of course, you'll have to have some strict ground rules for the domains, like having to have actual online exhibits, but it can work out pretty fairly.

  5. So many errors, so little time by Ars-Fartsica · · Score: 2 · on The Mystery of Capital
    1) America has the largest tax receipts of any country in the world. Hardly a Capitalist utopia.

    The United States has considerably lower tax rates than most European countries. As to how this creates larger tax revenues, investigate the Laffer Curve.

    2) America spends more on its miltary than any other country in the world. What exactly does this contribute to free trade ?

    What do military expenditures have to do with free trade??

    3) American corporations are amongst some of the most monopalistic in the world. Is this the free market ?

    Yes, it is. It is not illegal to hold persuasive market power in any industrialized nation, as long as legal means were used to obtain market power. At least the government doesn't force citizens to prop up big industry, like in Europe.

    4) When forced to compete on a level playing field, US corporations fail dismally. E.g. the auto industry. You will not see ANYONE driving an Amercian car in Europe. Like most Amreicans, we would prefer a quality vehicle from BMW, Mercedez-Benz, Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Porshe, or even a Japanese made vehichle rather than the American low quality product.

    Ha! You moron! Volvo and Saab and Jaguar are owned by American companies. Do some research! How many English automakers are still owned by the English?

    5) Exploitation of resources and inefficiency. America leads the world in the destruction of the natural environment.

    Wrong. China and even Canada are, on a per capita basis, more wasteful of resources.
