The huge error in that thinking is that it's an either/or. It's not. If I put you on a long electrified leash, I can let you run so far that you think you're free. But if I've decided you've gone too far I can give you a little jolt - no near enough to kill you - but enough to get your attention. China can do the same to us. They don't have to "ruin us". They could jolt our entire economy for a week; nothing too bad, but a jolt. And, like I said, they could do more if they wanted - not a lot - but more. It would hurt them, no doubt. But it would hurt us worse. There are degrees of pain and China controls ours until we buy back our debt from them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289671 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
