My realm of reason is rather in check,as per always...it's a given and much to your chagrin.

Which is why I marvel at how much stupidity you can espouse.

Case in point:

"The MAIN business that embraces UEI is Boeing. How else would a community stand for the hiring & lay offs, how else could any community survive the layoffs other than UEI? Are you brain dead?"

'Splain me this Lucy. WHY would a healthy community of industrious soles,fret,give a shitt or otherwise care what Boeing thinks,says or does?!!? Especially given the per capita "hit".

Further,who in their right mind,would dictate the fiscal druthers of a private enterprise(Boeing),as being the sounding board for an Industrious Nation(the U.S. of A.) diversified to the Nth degree and far more reaching in it's scope of work?

Besides a brain dead Hamburger Technician,with both hands out,eager to holster whatever Welfare comes her way?

Quite a Swan Song you have there Toots.
