"Here, try this simplified scenario and try to answer it yourself"

As always Kahuna, appreciate the input. Good balanced food for thought, and I can see your point. My feelings still persist that in this global economy the naivete of our foreign investers is somewhat suspect. That being said we definately seem to have led the charge. So, enough blame for everyone I guess, just feel a little resentful of the lable from the quote above I guess.
