But if you really think mega corps increase quality of life I seriously hope you don't get elected to any offices till you do some research.

That ,in the end,will be what destroys our economy.Uh,take a look at the oil situation if you still don't understand.

So your saying I shouldn't eat at Mc Donalds because it's hurting my community (they are world wide ya know) I shouldn't eat at outback or any of the other cooperate owned restaurants, I shouldn't shop at any store that has business in multiple areas and states like barns and noble, or many of the clothing retailers, and I prob. shouldn't by automobiles from any ford, chevy, toyota, etc. dealership because they are big corporations?

I understand what your saying about trying to keep money in your community, but business like Wal-mart, Lowes, and other big corporations pump a lot of money into the area they are at, as well as giving thousands of people jobs. I've lived in BA for 25 years, and it was always a small town, soon as Wal-mart moved in about 10 years ago, other big business followed and now we have an awesome community that attracts more people, has better land projects and parks as well as better upkeep in the community, and we just have a better way of living.

Shopping at all the places I have mentioned doesn't hurt my community, it helps it because majority of the money stays here and it gives more people jobs. Mom and pop business with 1 or 2 employees isn't really helping my community other than giving you more of a home made feel, because I have eating at pretty much every family run restaurant and diner around here, and besides the fact that I have not been impressed with the food, they charge more.

I don't have the desire to carry this any further with you.What you are saying is just not the case.Studies have shown that.You seriously need to research this and not just say what you believe to be true.

In my line of work, what comes around goes around.... If the Lumber yard owner sees us shopping at menards, he surely isn't going to pay our premium price when he wants 15000 worth of concrete work done...

There are some pretty good import rails coming into the market. In a very few years there will be some very good ones available. Let me put this so yoshi will MAYBE understand.30K+ for a yoshi/federal or 20K or less for an import that is as good or better than theirs and have big pockets to boot.Gee I wonder what the short sighted rail buyers will purchase? Betcha any yoshi multi-state dealership plans evaporate.Don't think those imports are coming? Better think again.

[masterfabr]

Bottom line of what started this is the FACT that yoshi wants to use 3 bux a sheet as a reason to shop LOWES that was OUT OF STOCK and then BIITCH about it is really just plain dumb especially since the local had it IN STOCK!!!!.Did he ever consider the probability that the reason the local had it in stock was because the local CARED about their customers and KEPT it IN STOCK? Did he consider that LOWES price would likely ALSO be higher when they FINALLY got around to getting it back IN STOCK? He's known me for approx 3 years .Did he call me to see if I could help? NO! I guarentee if he had he'd have SAVED at least 3 MORE bux below LOWELIFES price if he had. LOWES is NO COMPETITION at all on 90 % of their items. Mom and pop my asss. Fricken needs to pull head out.IMO.

If I was worried about someone building a cheaper built product, that was available to the public for less money, I wouldn't have gone into business cause there will always be someone cheaper, you think I was worried about team moto or super kart buggies, offering the under 20k busa rail, did you, where are they now? I'm not worried about the cheaper priced stuff cause they are crap and they always flop. Quality auto manufactures don't drop their price because a new, cheaper ford tempo just came out, or because the smart car is available.

Actually, Bottom line that started this was I recommended some cheap FRP board from Lowes to make an inexpensive v-nose for a trailer, and you started calling me un-American....

So what exactly makes Lowes so evil, lets do a comparisson

local owned business have local employees
Lowes has considerably more local employees
local owned business put money back into the community
Lowes puts considerably more money back into the community
How is Lowes making my community worse, they have far more money going back into my community.


Is there something i'm missing, are Lowes employees shipped over from another country, paid $.50 an hour and taking American jobs?

Do you shop at Wal-mart?
Do you eat at any restaurant chains?
Do you buy anything over the net because it's cheaper than buying it from somewhere local?

Your like an environmentalist bitching about global warming, yet you still drive a gas powered car, or a vegetarian that doesn't eat meat because it kills animals, yet you still wear cloths made from animal skin..

Until you have only American made, local produced products in your possession, you are just a hypocrite. You can't lecture me on buying only locally sold, American made products, yet hold yourself to a different standard.

You said it yourself, find you an American made product that can do what the busa can do and you'll buy it. There are American made snowmobile engines that can blow the doors off a busa motor and are lighter, only problem is they are un godly expensive, same with some of the American made rotary engines out there, so, put your money where your mouth is and spend an extra 18-20 grand on an American made product that will out preform the busa, i'll dig up the links since I know you are ready to order one motor.....

here ya go master..

"There is more HP (360) and more Torque (over 230 ft. lbs.) than anyone really needs."

It's American made, lighter than a busa and has a lot more power, and since it's only $16,500, i'm sure you'll be happy to get an order going tomorrow, and get rid of that cheap, big business built busa motor that was built by foreigners...
