I sometimes wonder what planet some of you live on. If it weren't for
Japanese quality, we would still all be driving the equivlents of 1976
Plymouth Volaries and yes, VW Dashers. Only the Japanese figured out how to
make the automobile a truly reliable vehicle for the mass public.
As far as slave labor... you need to get out in the world a bit more often.
Taipei is a very busy, diverse city. The people there are not starving, they
are working their butts off to make a living. Perhaps something one or two
of us North Amuricans could relearn.

amazing and it isn't even virtual friday yet.
