Well, speaking as a realistic American not blinded by patriotic emotional hysteria...
Everyone of sound mind on this side of the Atlantic knows GM and Ford both s_ck. Quality car manufacturing standards are established by the Japanese and German manufacturers.
Now the American government is trying to sell away a part of their infrastructure (like control of American ports to Dubai) to make money because those sodding idiots know nothing about proper and efficient economics.
Wait for a decade...we Americans will all be speaking Spanish and dancing the bl--dy salsa...not that we don't deserve it.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes...
Like everything else in life, you get what you pay for. Here are a few examples:
*If you don't want to pay for a web host, use a free web host and get inundated with pop-ups.
*If you don't want to pay a lot for a quality car, buy American and get inundated with mechanical and electrical problems.
*And for this thread, if you don't want to pay a lot for a server operating system, download a free linux distribution and get inundated with having to update service patches for a multitude of modules from php.net, apache.org, samba.org and (insert your linux distribution here).com.
Free, is not always better. Cheaper is not always better. Sometimes it amazes me the number of hurdles people will jump, the number of issues people are willing to endure, just to save money.
