Sorry. I like your target better too.

I wonder which one will buy the flag, when IT goes up for auction? -- What CAN we be thinking? -- Or are we? -- It''s really NOT all about money, folks. -- No matter how it looks, and it looks really bad about now. -- This is just all wrong, and we all know it.

Maybe they''ll give it to Al Queada for target practice.

I don''''t like it either but that''''s real estate.

The problem is not the buying and selling of real estate, or Arabs owning the Chrysler building. The problem is that eventually we will no longer own our own assets. This nation has gone from the greatest creditor to the biggest debtor nation in the world. This is a symptom of the problem, not the problem.

So our nation''''s assets are being sold one by one, until we own nothing.

Only one problem, this building was PRIVATELY OWNED, they have the right to sell their building to whomever has the cash to pay the purchase price. Since no AMERICANS were willing to cough up $800 million + to bid against the Arabs, they acquired the building.

I don''t like it either but that''s real estate.

[wardoglrs]

And if you think that''s bad just wait when you all find out just how much them Arabs own in real estate land and development. The Bin Ladens 2% of the USA

Well, if they own them they''re probably less likely to fly planes into them - unless they''re well insured of course.

[ubikvalis2]

Over a trillion dollars a year is flowing out of this country due to our staggering trade and government debts. Middle Eastern nations and China and others buy this up and once they use the dollars to buy the oil they need, they would rather buy real assets than sit on steadily depreciating dollars. So our nation''s assets are being sold one by one, until we own nothing.

Maybe there still hope for us.

t is sad, I would not be surprised if we hear in the short term future that Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon
were up for sale.

I would not worry about that unless and until the Republicans figure out a way to permit mining and oil drilling in our national parks - and even then, not until those resources are played out.

Thanks to the $10 trillion Reagan/Bush debt, the dollar is in the trash bin, and America''''s new call to the rest of the world is ''''hey, meester, you want to buy my seester?''''

USA is a bargain basement at the moment. They''ll probably build a minaret on top to call New Yorkers to prayer.

I''d check to make sure it didn''t have a salvage title before I''d buy any Chrysler.

[Gary Kempf]

Maybe we can steal it back, after cashing the check. Bush is good at that sort of thing. Why can''''t we use his evil for good, instead of evil?
