Lee,

Tragic, really, your loss. Given all the rest that is going on in the world and all. I don't have a view either. Can you believe that the City of Portland allowed someone to build houses on both sides of mine? And then they allowed someone to build across the street and someone else behind mine.

I feel your pain, man. Let us know when you are running for City Council so that we can vote for you.

Oh...I just realized that this topic is about being competitive with China. I say we've got them beat on whining and navel gazing...they never catch su!
