Just because we lose some of the lower value manufacturing industries does not mean we are losing our position of leadership *or* mortgaging our future, as some of the other doom & gloom posters like to wring their hands about.

I hereby deem all those using the crutch name calling argument of "doom & gloom posters" will be from this point forward referred to as Ostrich Optimists because heads in the sand and asses in the air will not change economic realities.
