I felt sorry for her, and asked if there was anything I could do. Ruefully, she said, "buy a car!"

A little late for that.

Now, how many of you have import marque cars sitting in your garages?

How many of you have shown how patriotic you are and put an American flag on your import?

How many of you can come up with "good" reasons why you passed on American cars and bought the import car now in your possession?

Now multiply that by a nation of "Proud Americans" and you'll understand why the Big Three are in the situation they now face.

We all make choices in life. They are not all based on logic and financial concerns. Some are based on faith, courage of conviction, and personal taste.

If we had all vowed to "Buy American" decades ago.....
