Carlile, Whether you believe it or not, things are a whole lot better for the little guy now as ever before. Wherelse, or whenever, can you buy a car that has over 100,000 miles and really is just broken in. Ten or twenty years ago this was not the case. Hell, you could hardly go 50000 without something serious breaking. How about computers for the masses. Christ, not you of course, they're unbelievable and cost so little. As for the little guy, it is he and she who made this happen. Hell, we are the market and if the market isn't satisfied, the supplier sucks wind and goes down. No matter how much you and I bitch, things improve all the time technical. Economically, that's a completely different story as the little guy is completely oblivious and still drives around at 100 mph in SUV'S not worth a dime.
