Its trendy in Latte-sipping pseudo-intellectual circles to dis your own country and root for "benevolent" foreign takeovers. It makes documentaries like those of Michael Moore no longer necessary when all of the evil corporations are based in some other country. Makes me wonder who they'll have to kick around (besides the government) when everything is based in China Germany and Japan.

I never said they should investigate due to shattering, I ment that they should test the others due to the fact they could possiblely have the same problem... Why not fix a problem if there is one before something bad actually happens....
