[R-390] Bad Overseas EBay Experience

[Cecil Acuff]

Bizarre...ain't that the truth....

And our so called "Middle Class" value system looks like royalty to a many 
countries I've visited.

We haven't imposed the American value system on the world the world has made 
it own choice.   Remember we are the only country in the world that hasn't 
adopted the Metric system of measures.....kinda set in our ways I 
guess...but we aren't imposing our backwards American system of measures on 
the world....the world made it's own choice.

The ole US of A is still the country that people of many other nations seem 
to be willing to give their left arm to become a citizen of.....evidenced by 
our ever growing diverse culture.  I'm not sure it's in our best interest in 
today's world but it's what we are about.

Must be doing something right.....

Or maybe it's because we have more of the worlds R-390A's and everybody I 
know wants one or more of those!
