    Good for Danny! He made his money and "voluntarily" shared it with others! But he is no different from the rest of us when it comes to our own healthcare ... he wants the best option for him and his family. Fact is the U.S. is where most want to go for healthcare, even with all it's past...

    Maybe just basic math: "cost to build vs. market will pay" = profit ratio, add your "credit to debit ratio" and then adjust to beat your competition in the current economy and market demand = Balance sheet @ end of month ... if they don't add up on the + side you have a problem. Perhaps the...

    One last response to your comments (and this is all in good spirit!) (1) My Dad voted for Carter and then for Reagan, and at 83 wishes he could vote for Reagan again. (2) My greed comments were directed at "both" sides not just corporations that you talk about. Do you know what Union Leaders...

    My Dad worked on railroad for 43 years before retiring 1990. He thought Unions started out with right motives but like every organization when given enough power, money and control they become just as useless as the persona they paint on management. Dad believed in the old days that Unions...

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 or C6 Z06 -- Which do You Pick?

    I would have been happy to own either a "Sting Ray or "Stingray" ! Not so much a contest between C2 or C3.;) I love my Z06 and very satisfied with it to date but was very glad to see GM honor the past "stingray" name with the C7. I've owned a custom 1976 (also have owned a 2003 Anniversary...

    Transmission slip

    Thanks so much for the help. Good to know not to search for vac modules if not on the 700r. I purchased the 703 page Cd and assembly guide but have not had a chance to look at it yet (I am in Japan until next week on business). I've never heard of "TV cable..." and would appreciate it if you...
