The Merkur is a Ford product, and beyond that, trade with Germany, Italy, England, and other european nations has never harmed this country the way that trade with Japan has; they do not attempt to use this country like a colony. If you lived here and paid attention, you'd know that. *RE: air traffic control: Ted, which countries will you fly into, out of, *or over?

The others won't be running or flying on Ada; they'll be crashing into eachother on Ada. -- Ted Holden HTE
