Jeff let me put it this way.
The guy in Detroit who built those cars you do not want to drive, isa son or grandsonof a guy that would have taken a bullet to save your freedom in WWII.
The guy in Japan to whom you want to give your money, isa son or grandson, of a guy who would have put a bullet in my grandfathers head in WWII.
If you want to take pop shots at Detroit more power to you. Lets not forget who the backbone of this economy was for many years.
If we use this logic, your great grandfather's father owned slaves so we should consider you a racist

Point is one man is only responsible for his own actions, not that of his ancestors etc.. Anyways, I do like your point of buying American though.
