“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” -Augustine
You know that some people prefer to make the most of their time murdering people, is their use of their time "good" or "evil" or neither and how would you know? Also, what does "making the most of my time" even mean, is it something universal or only personal to you, is it a good thing? Is the purpose of life, if there is such a thing as "the purpose of life", to make the most of it, whatever that means? Is there a standard to appeal to by which one can see if he is "making the most of life" lest a person suddenly find he isn't "getting the most" so he/she can get back on track? Also, at the end of your life will "getting the most" really mean much when death destroys everything about you? Do you hope there is a God, and death really isn't the end? Just some questions.
Almost forgot...how do you know that prayer doesn't work?

Yoni, Your perspective on my words is one I never considered. You articulate your point of view well, but these concepts are concepts I've never really considered. Are we Americans all that different from men of other cultures? I think the men of South Africa have a pretty similar mindset. I've seen first hand on many occasions that European men do NOT share this way of thinking. Their obedience to government is second to none. I'm speaking of the English, Dutch, French and German that I've met over the years. I've had limited exposure the Jews from Israel, and I wonder what their view on matters like this is. I worked for an Israeli jew for about a year. I have nothing but good to say about him. He shared elements of his culture with me when I asked, but sadly I was young and impetuous and did't ask enough. My current veterinarian, who is also a friend, is an Israeli jew. He was a soldier and was captured by the muslims. He watched them torture and kill women and children. The cavalry arrived just as he and the other men were about to be murdered. He has no love for any Muslim.
I never considered my way of thinking great. Its just how I see things. I suppose that it must be cultural, and I suppose that is exactly what you are getting at. Our American culture. Don't Tread On Me. So many people that I talk to lately just want the insanity to stop. They don't want a war. They don't want to hurt anybody. But holy hell is about to be unleashed and some of these men are about ready to go on killing sprees the likes of which have never been imagined. I've recently been told this by an American woman too. She's gone so far as to figure out who should be killed first and why. The left is treading on very thin ice of their own making. I don't think most of them realize it.

I’m a pretty good markets and finance student, along with a good grasp of operational issues around capex, opex and such. However I don’t have manufacturing experience.
Riddle me this, how can it be cheaper to make something in China, ship across the Pacific and the rail/truck it to a depot and then deliver it to a retailer? It’s got to be regulation and taxes? It can’t really be that much less cost.
