My hometown is the same as Dave Packards'. (Pueblo, Colorado) Historically, economics around here have always been tough. It's bred and shaped a whole bunch of tough minded people who worked like hell (farmers, ranchers, steel mill workers) and made things work.
People like Queen Fiorina and her pet juggler Morris are here today, gone tomorrow carpetbaggers. They want nothing more than a quick profit and a few hollow cheers in some stockholders meeting.
If Dave Packard were alive today, he'd send the Queen and her juggler packing. I'm glad he's not alive to see the ruin of all his hard work.
