Many people don't realize that most of the high tech parts of
electronics equipment, such as the, ahem, CRTs, are _made_ right here in
the U.S. and shipped to another country for assembly. Sony's San Diego
plant is one notable example.


Name one person who has died that can be traced directly to
salvaging efforts.


Real sensible question.

Just like the one about two white guys and a black guy
arriving at Heaven. St. Peter asks the first guy what famous ship was
sunk by an iceberg. Guy answers, "Titanic" and St. Peter waves him in.
St. Peter asks the second white guy how many died. Guy says, "1503"
and St Peter waves him in. Then he turns to the black guy and says,
"Name them."
