it would be really great if we could go back to the day when we could effectively "pick and choose" whether we wanted to buy "American" or a cheap, foreign copy. but, in reality, i think we would be hard-pressed, these days, to find much that is 100% American-made. the Buzzward "global marketplace" that became so popular in the late 70's, into the 80's, has pretty much inundated the industrial base of this country. i did a little research this morning, and, i'm so sorry to say that, in the automobile industry, hondas and toyotas made in this country,percentage-wise have more american-made parts in them than ford or chevy!....my dad and grandad are rolling over in their grave, right now......
