It sounds >to me that the industry is much more important than the people of the It would probably be fair to say that business concerns have always been top priority or close to it here. It has certainly been that way for the Republican party (Bush's party) since the late 1800's. Calvin Coolidge, republican president in the late 1920's is famous for saying "The chief business of the American people is business." A less famous but equally telling quote from him is "...the man who builds a factory builds a temple, that the man who works there worships there..." That has of course not nessecarily been the outlook of the other party during this time. But there is far less difference between the two parties than is typical in other countries, so you can probably take these attitudes a only being a bit beyond the norm. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
