For those who don't remember how I feel about the economic invasion of the United States waged by Japan and then eventually the whole of Asia, read: Pearl Harbor 1998. ( 10-4-98 ). I believe the people of the United States of America have partially brought the economic distress we are in now upon themselves by buying foreign goods of strikingly inferior quality over more expensive though better quality American made products!
If you didn't believe me about the fiction of Japanese made goods, then take it from the Japanese themselves.
On December 8th, 1941 Sei Ito of Japan, an automobile mechanic in the late 1930s, wrote this in his diary. " War with America? Why, I can't believe it. The only good cars I'd ever seen in Japan were Fords. Can't they understand that we can't beat America with the junk our auto companies are turning out "?
A transport sargent in WW II China later echoed the same sentiment as that of Ito. " The only good trucks we had in the Japanese army in China were Chevrolets. We captured them at Shanghai and took them with us as we went along ".
See; what I tell ya', huh? From out of their very own mouths comes the truth; if we are to believe what Theodore F. Cook, Jr. writes in Primedia's Pearl Harbor Commemorative. So, put your blinders on and continue to buy cheap Asian goods, including bankrolling the People's Liberation Army of Red China in their miltary build-up against us, in the name of saving a buck or two, though you always get what you pay for and that Asian junk is just that, JUNK!
You don't have to believe me, the person with a friend who bought a Subaru Brat and took it to an island where it rusted apart in less than one year, becoming quite useless; just visit a Japanese car dealership yourself and check out the plastic unfantastic trucks with the emphasis on stereos instead of steriods, they are flooding our domestic market with!
