   I'm not emotional about it, but if you're saying that all jobs in the   
   manufacturing sector of the American economy should be outsourced to other   
   countries (as it appears you are), then you're certainly out of step with   
   Monsieur Bush, who frantically denied during the presidential debates that   
   he would contemplate any such thing.  It's absolutely ridiculous to think   
   that any nation is going to eliminate manufacturing (i.e., assembly) jobs.   
   Get rid of autobuilding plants?  Get rid of other manufacturing plants?  Get   
   rid of construction workers (another manual labor position)?  Ain't gonna   
   happen.  I'm just point that out.
