We have become a nation of not me, not in my back yard, short attention span, fickle memory don't inconvenience me peoples.
Another example? I hate delicious apples...BUT...at Sam's I buy delicious apples because they are the only ones from the USA. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to buy food that is not from the USA and yes it means I pass on many, many items I dearly love and enjoy.
The question of look at the car in your drive way is a banner example. I know and understand the concept that many foreign makes are made here, but the profits and benefits from those profits go back to the country of origin.
It is all but impossible to get a majority of Americans to do much of anything about anything....hence the predicament we find ourselves in as a people and a nation.
Real, flag waving pride and spirit are watered down with the passing of us who are old enough to have lived when it was different...it is further watered down as we born and bred in America Americans become fewer and fewer in number.
Those that follow us will never know what the real America was like since today is most likely as good as it will ever be in their futures.
Yes, we could change it if we the people REALLY cared and DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
This is one of my signature favorite subjects.
When you get really depressed and out of work and hungry...eat your imports!!!
