Yeah. They're polluting everyone's air and we're buying most of their stuff. It's bull****.

We make next to nothing in this country any more. All we do is buy stuff from countries that pay pennies to their workers and pollute the whole world.

But it makes the "greenies" feel all warm and fuzzy.

Of course. People would much rather pay $30 for something made by children with sub-standard materials breathing and drinking toxic waste than $50 for something made by their neighbor. After all, that's $20 in they can put towards Facebook games or resin patio furniture.

Yep. Then somehow when the furniture-making neighbor ends up on the dole and he can't afford his 60-year mortgage anymore there's some massive economic crisis. Must be some kinda magnet. I mean magic.

Show me a 1940 Honda, Yamaha or Suzuki , maybe I'll change my mind but I know I can put my hands on a 40s, Harley or Indian. Same w/ Jeep, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Plymouth, Hell even an ol De Soto (wow just showed my age) Point is I believe there will be XJs for a long time to come, that is if they aren't all cut up for rock crawlers, But , Hey, they will still be out there.
