As a young and energetic teen back in the suburban college town of Ann Arbor, MI. I was not of an age where I was willing to mentally entertain the full economic impact of the import assault on America by Japanese auto makers. Now that I am socially, economically and politically eyeswide... well, one cannot ignore certain factors that have come hoe to roost in our nations local economic picture. But, is it America's fault or is it the fault of American big business? The thought begs deeper consideration. How did it become the electorates responsibility to consider how competitive our companies are here within the pandemic explosion of this trans-global business throng we seem to be visiting?

We don't profess a free market of ideals or lucid machinations, though it clearly exists on the left, well [actually] our Colleges and Universities, which are as diverse as they perverse.
