RE: not yet

["Dennis J." <djohn14296@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well put Earl, but:
1. It maybe a world economy, but not all playing fields are level. So 
until they are, then it is very hard to compete with the foreign makers.

2.I can not disagree with you on your second point, except that some 
foreign cars are also cheaply built and some are junk. But it is hard to 
compare apples and oranges. The higher end cars, BMW, Mercedes and Audi 
are priced above most American cars and are there fore preceived to be a 
better car, and in most cases are better build, but you pay more.

3. I don't care what a foreign worker thinks about them having assembly 
plants in American. Though they get most of their parts and 
pieces from over seas supplies. Loop hole in are tariff laws. And though 
they have invested in assembly plants, how much of the profit is 
revested in the good old USA?

4. Sam Walton has rolled over in his grave a few times since he has 
died. He had the right idea, just didn't leave the right people in 
charge and yes I shop there also for the samr reason.

5.There are no rules in Hot Rodding. There all good.

6. Nice put and very true.

7. Free speech and diversed ideas make the world go around.

Finally, I buy American when ever possible, such as parts, and 
Automobiles, just something I was brought up to believe in and I think 
CHARITY begins at home. Support American made products.

PS: Nothing personal about your remarks, you still an old fart like me, 
lol.
