whitey,
pull your head out and smell something other than your own B.S.
If it weren't for those japaneese cars, there are alot of poeple here and in canada that wouldn't have a job... yes, a greater sum of the $$ does fall back into the japanese economy, but look how much it does for our own economies... if people didn't buy them, Kansas and his co-workers wouldn't have a job, and be able to support other buisnesses in his local economy.
or you can look at this another way: if the north american unions had put as much effort into building quility cars in the late 70's to early 90's as they did lining their pockets, the asian market would've never gotten a hold in our markets... japan cared about making a quality product, where we only cared about getting rich....
lay off, take your meds or smoke a blunt and chill the eff out.... kansas is just showing off like we all do when we can overcome a major hurdle in our lives, and make a huge accomplishment....

BTW, congrats Kansas!
