what sticklers for details you guys are.

my point is, and always has been, that we should be bolstering our own economy by "buying american". it's not so easy these days to find the "made in USA" label, i concede that, but if you do search it out then you are paying american workers, american fabrication shops and factories, and helping the worker pay his taxes - which is a whole 'nother can of worms. i feel better when i can put my money down on an american product. it doesn't matter what it is.

Wow....drop the word "Honda" in this place

it's a touchy subject, as well it should be. i feel so much better that this topic has come under the light, so everyone can take a good look at it. doesn't matter where you stand on the issue - we are talking about it, and that's a good thing.
