How is Japan Inc. doing now?

How is the consumer electronic industry in America doing? Once it went to Japan in the early 70's, it never came back to our shores.

I'm still pissed about that, because when I got drafted out of college in '69, I had specialized in consumer electronic design. When I got my discharge in '72, there was no consumer electronics industry left in the U.S.

But hey, I adapted. I got into nuclear power. Bad mistake there...

So I adapted again and got into aerospace. Another bad mistake...

But if I ever decide to punish myself for some horrible guilt, I'll become a symbol manipulator who produces nothing but makes fun of those who do on FR.

Well, why didn't you knock on your neighbors' doors and ask if you could destroy their new 1972 panasonic quadraphonic sound system with an 8 track. I guess you would have felt better without occurring to you that the unions had driven that business to Japan in the first place.

Sheesh, dont blame me. That Is Jane Fonda's doing. You know the broad, that while you were serving your country, she was kissy face with the Viet Cong.
