From: "Gary Britt" 

Got a good laugh from your message below.  The USA economy is in great
shape compared to the unemployment and productivity rates in all of Europe.
 The USA economy is the engine that drives the world economy not the other
way around.  Just like the USA is the force that drives world peace and
freedom to a much larger extent than all of Europe combined.  Don't piss us
off too much, because if you ever start having to pay for your own defense
costs instead of continuing to suck the sweat off the backs of the USA
taxpayer your socialized economies won't be able to take the strain.

It really was amazing just how out of touch and unbelievable 180 degrees
wrong headed your various analyses and predictions below really are in
fact. It is a pity their are so many wasted European minds (probably
desperately seeking to rationalize and justify their ancestors decisions to
stay on the Master's Land rather than seek their freedom and fortunes in a
new world).

Cheers,

Gary
