intresting schedule
One more note, even though we are 5 games out, we are only 4 losses behind the Twins, so we control our fate a little more than the standings show.

Trade deadline
I want to answer this. Just because we aren't running around talking about stuff out loud doesn't mean we aren't looking into this. Yes it was obvious that the posting styles were incredibly similar. But that alone isn't reason enough to take action against a poster. Until we had real proof that reesdi and Brando were the same person, we couldn't take action, just in case they were really different people. Well after a little work and research, I found the proof and the situation has been rectified. As for the comparision between posters suspensions... The 5 months suspension Beastly recieved wasn't his first disipline he recieved. I wasn't an admin during this time, so someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it was his 3rd suspension. IIRC He also created a fake name to post under which is what really got him in trouble. Brando is going to receive his just deserts for doing the samething. And finally if you don't believe we are doing something when there is a problem, send one of us a PM or email. Sometimes we don't see everything, or we might not see it quick enough. Even if you don't like or feel comfortable with someone, send it to another one of us. Something will get done about it, even if it just to send you back a reply to explain what is going on. If you have anymore you want to talk about or ask, feel free.

UN gives Sudan 30 days to halt violence
I guess 30 days isn't enough to stop raping and murdering people, Sudan said it will take 90 days. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/africa/08/01...udan/index.html

Bye kids...
Damn that game sucked. 40 degrees at gametime, probably 35 for most it. Then it misted and light rained the whole game. At least I punked the hotdog vendor

Bye kids...
They don't care about the stadium. Just like here it is all about the product on the field. Ilitch has a fraction of the budget for the Tigers as he does for the Wings. The Wings are the Yankees of the NHL, the Tigers are just now finally starting to sign some players after years of bad teams.

Outsourcing
And to add to that question, how much more would you be willing to pay? Would you be willing to pay double for a car that was totally, from beginning to end, produced and made in the USA? How about on regular items? Would you be willing to pay $2000 for a computer again? $500 for a CD player? Seriously, I want to hear back on this. I keep hearing that we need to stop outsourcing, but I have yet to hear some realisitic answers on how to do so.

Outsourcing
I appreciate all of the facts and research, but what I am saying is would the impact of a fully US produced product be less than the losses through outsourcing. There are so many factors that would go into this. Gosh just the inflationary spiral alone would be huge. Can you imagine what would happen if the cost of most goods just doubled? And with the factor differential in wages, I think it would be a multiple increase, instead of a doubling. If you had to produce every step of a car in the US, costs would explode. And I do understand what you are saying about record profits, but you realize that is what has lead to record equity prices at the sametime. There is a direct correlation between the two. Plus that is where most people's retirement money is. If we go slashing profits, by increasing costs, we are looking at a huge correction in the stock market, which reminisant of what the NASDAQ did in 2000-2002. That would lead to huge job cuts, both to cut margins to save profits, and to stall production because of purchasing cutbacks due to cost increases that would inevitably be handed on to consumers. My question is where is the balance, and where is the line for the greatest good of all?

Outsourcing
Question for you Apu or anyone else. If we stop outsourcing, how do US companies compete on a world wide market. The cost structure that they would face would be enormous. Espesially when you factor in added costs like SS tax, unemployment taxes, health insurance, pensions etc. I honestly think if a company like Ford built a car COMPLETELY in the US, from the parts being built in the US, all of the way through the labor, steel, assembly, etc, I can't see how a Focus wouldn't cost $50,000 to make. If it were just US markets I could see it happening, but being a world wide economy, is it possible?

Our tax dollars at work
That doesn't surprise me at all. I don't know what it is anymore, but the US budget has this huge number, well into the billions that is just for errors. They have no idea where this money is, or went.

And there is a big perception up there that their ownership (Ilitch) only cares about the Red Wings, and could care less about the Tigers.
