Screw it, I flatly refuse to help you prolong your little personal pissing contest. </div></div>
Greg, I have upset you and it was not my intent and I would like to apologize. I was not "trolling" you but the very direct way that I responded could have been construed as being confrontational and I regret it.
I would very much like for the USA to regain its competitive advantage and go head to head with the rest of the world. It has been my personal experience that Washington and lots of different self interest groups have gotten in the way.
I personally think that the best way to tear down these impediments at this point is to quit propping up dieing industries and let them fail. After the collapse new companies can step in and hopefully compete.
I understand and recognize your point about anti-competitive business practices and think that the US Government should step in and protect domestic industries from dumping.
If you take a look at rifles for instance, there really isn't a need for any of us to go chase a rifle from India or China. The quality of the actions, barrels, stocks and any number of parts that go into making a precision piece of equipment are readily available here and because of this the U.S. is a fierce competitor in this market.
If you look at scopes on the other hand, it seems to be agreed that the quality of the glass and the manufacturing process at the high end is better in Germany and Japan. I would love it if a domestic company would step up to the plate and compete and because I am a little xenophobic I would probably buy there product.
Again no disrespect intended.
