I just read an article about a new book by Sara Bongiorni where she and her family lived a year without buying anything made in China. Interesting thought.
I would next like to read about a book where someone for a month could write that they bought everything they needed "Made in America". Of course they could not do it.
Lots of reasons why, but it would be fun to see if it could be done. For that matter I would like to see one day that everyone would only buy made in America. Just to show the world that we could do it.
Between myself and my three kids (24,22,20) there are no foreign cars in my driveway. There are many well made foreign cars, but I cannot buy them. Its a respect thing. My father was in WWII in the Pacific and for his entire life he did not own anything made in Japan. At the end of the war he spent time investigating Japanese war crimes for the tribunal. Out of respect for that there will never be Japanese cars in my driveway.
Now dont get me wrong, before you call me a bigot, I am married to a Korean-American and I would buy a Korean car someday, but for now, American is it.
One day, just one day. No toyota's, no honda's, no anything Japanese purchased in the US..... naw, too many people forget and dont care.
