The exception to the rule

I'm all about buying American, buying locally, keeping jobs in America.

Except...

DON'T BUY AMERICAN CARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American car makers can't even sell their cars in other countries because the emission standards in other countries are too high. Cars from other countries are more fuel efficient and better for the enviroment. Thusly, they are better for everyone.

If we tell American car makers we aren't going to buy their product unless they get with the program, they will get with the program. Toyota and Honda lead in car sales. If they continue to take away business, the American car companies will have no choice.

Did you know that by 2009 your tv will be obsolete unless it is HD? The television companies will make a fortune. So why can't the car companies see that if everyone's car is outdated that they will reap the benefits? And why don't they realize all the jobs they could provide by improving car standards? Old cars will need re-outfitting. New jobs will be created because the demand for better cars will be great. It's a win-win.

So fuck Ford and GMAC. Save the kiss for when they deserve it.
