I thought we went through this whole bit over cars. People were shouting "Buy American Cars" in the '70s, when you absolutely could not buy an American made car as reliable or well made as those from Japan and Germany.
American cars got better -- way better. Why? Becuase the consumers voted with their dollars, and Detroit realized that the only way out of Chapter 11 was to build something that could face a Toyota on a level playing field.
I'll buy American, or German, or Italian, or Korean, or whatever, based on who makes the best product for my needs. I will not allow my patriotism to be taken advantage of by people who want me to buy an inferior product so they can make money. My devotion is to this country and its people, not to the wallets of substandard manufacturers.
