The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.

Re: US waves Bye Bye to 1mil dollar

Dear Friend,

My name is Mary Obama and I desperately need your help.  I am the widow of the former President of Nigeria.  Communist Muslim terrorists overthrew our government and murdered my husband.  I barely escaped with my shoes - all two tons of them.  All of our savings are tied up in an environmentally conscious police car.  Potentially the sales of these cars to American police are 2 billion euro.  Friend please help me build engines for these cares.  If you send me your corporate bank acocunt number I will richly reward you.  God bless you my firend. Please help.

Judge Dredd! I didn't consider it a dystopia either. It was a utopia for me. The law enforcement officer is the enforcer and judge. woot!

I loved the movie btw.

Re: US waves Bye Bye to 1mil dollar

What?  We're not buying american?!  Euro-trash garbage inside a american cop car built by toyota?!  This is not good!

Buy american damnit!

Denver and chicago can't build a decent american diesel engine up to european standards?  You see that's what is wrong with this country.  We really don't know how to improve machinery anymore.  Sure we can do a space shuttle, but we can't build a diesel engine?

=^o.o^= When I'm cute I can be cute.  And when I'm mean, I can be very very mean.  I'm a cat.  Expect me to be fickle.

Re: US waves Bye Bye to 1mil dollar

US and Europe have a lot of trade going on and most of it is mutually beneficial. They made each other rich this way after WW2. I fail to see how this is so bad for US.
