"15 years ago, when the US/Japan auto trade dispute was a hot issue, I vowed to never buy Japanese. Times have changed."
Nothing has changed, people simply shifted their hate targets, you just merely being influenced by the wind of the day and follow the crowd. We Americans always need an enemy or someone to look down on, whether it is German, Italian, Irish, English, Japanese, Chinese, Arabs, Jews, Mexicans and whomever fits the bill for the moment, or we feel threatened economically by someone. You are not an independent confident person, you are easily influenced, unfortunately you don‘t even know it. This month it happened to be anti-SUV, few months ago it was the WTO, or genetic engineered foods, or whatever coming next.
Huffington and Lear have 9000SF mansion, do you know what a 9000SF house uses every MONTH? Minimum $2,000 of gas and electric, a decent size garden uses $2,000 of water a month. How pathetic you are merely a follower to these people. Hitler could not have done what he did without people like you.
I wonder what kind of TV or LCD or DVD do you own? Do you know what are in the computer or cell phone you are using now? Do you know all the DELL computers are made in Taiwan? Wal-Mart buys $6 Billion a year from China? You can accept the reality and look to the future, or you can fight the windmill.
Stop the hate and all the negative energy, it does you no good and it does our great country no good.
