I see you're from Dayton.
It will be interesting to see how the economy goes when the GM Plant closes there -- I'm wondering if you'll perhaps wish a few more people had bought a GM or Ford or Chrysler product........rather than, say, an Acura to provide Japan a boost to their economy............

Sure, it would be nice if people would buy GM, but they don't. They aren't because of cost, fuel efficiency, etc. People don't care about where the car is coming from, they care about how it fits their needs. America is losing that battle and has been for a while. I wish I could make excuses for GM but I can't.
As for these workers losing their jobs, I'm sorry, but I have little sympathy. Some people chose to goof around in high school and college and now they pay for it by having little to no job protection. You can't expect ANYONE to set you up for life, you have work hard and earn it. That right there is the major problem with his country, a lot of lazy people who just drag their way through life, whining that they don't get any brakes.

And................I can assure you, sir, with the line....(and I quote you) "People are always going to make the best choice for them, not for their country.." -- if that had happened in 1941-1946, we'd be speaking German or Japanese.........

Offering another product choice is a lot different then attacking our country. Not a very fair comparison.

Do you like the standard of living we have had in the United States? If so, I gently suggest you think about that statement -- the one about (and I quote you)....."People are always going to make the best choice for them, not for their country"........

I work on skills that will be valuable everywhere, not just here. If American companies start providing products that are superior, they won't have any problems either.

We need to work together to get out of the mess we find ourselves in. If you aren't scared beyond belief of where our economy has gone, you need to be! (and I'm not picking on you....rather, I'm trying to get you and many others to think 'larger'...)
I'm not telling you to buy GM -- but I AM asking you to consider GM -- and if you don't then please favor Ford or Chrysler for your transportation needs. (and yes, I note you drive a Neon - and I'm pleased it isn't a Honda or a Toyota!!!)

I'm buying a Camaro SS...but not because an American company makes it. It's the best car for the $ that suits my needs...and I think the car is going to do well because of it. Build a quality product that beats the competition and you'll do well.
