    A large portion of the cars made at the Honda plants in the USA are made for the US Market. Also, it is/was due to Reagans tarrifs that they located here in the first place.

    There is a difference between having a factory in an other country to serve that country and exporting most/all of that factories output to the USA.

    Hell, it can't continue much longer due to how our income tax system is setup. If you make less than a certin amount you pay NO income tax, and most of the new 'service' jobs pay less than that amount.

    Dell doesn't try to have the same image of quality as apple does.

    Dell doesn't charge an extra percentage for it's
    reputition of quality.

    Dell doesn't sell mp3 players that have unreplacable batteries in them.

    This isn't music any more than putting a gold fish into pluged in blenders in public is art.

    It fits none of the classical defs of music. It is random electrical noise caused by torturing circutboards. Hell, if this is music, the sound of a cat pluged into the mains would be a fscking symphony.
