WTH is your point? Of course it is, I never said it wasn't. What about ensuring domestic tranquility and promote the general welfare? Doesn't your general welfare depend on having a job? (Not welfare in the lib sense). WTH did this tangent come from?

You don't think provide for the common defense includes defense unagainst unfair trade in today's world? Hell, the most famous incident of the revolution had nothing to do with human rights, it was about commerce. Money.

GH - is MB is the preferred car because it is a quality car or because it is a status symbol? If all the rich dudes started driving VW bugs, would the same thing happen? You're proving my point. The consumer is too easily swayed by crap and the business world knows it, they've been taking advantage of it for years. Remember light cigarettes? What a joke. Light beer? Another joke.

The country is more than the people? I don't begin to understand that one.

I'll agree with you all after you fix the education system and show me informed consumers that can do battle with the tactics of the business world. Show me 10 high schoolers, that over the next five years will become consumers and trying to get into the job market, that can even follow this thread and I'll concede the point (they can't be your kids).
