Reply #9: I buy American when I can.

It's no mean feat, let me tell you.

I drive a '91 Cavalier that gets excellent mileage. I donate my used clothing and household goods to the local thrift store, and check there first when I need something. I support local people by eating in small family owned restaurants, and have thrown in the towel where Walmart is concerned.

I'm anything but silent about the situation and how it can be changed. I can't be responsible for those who just don't care. I can talk till I'm blue in the face, and there's no changing some people's minds. I just don't want to be lumped in with them. This was put in motion long before I was born. I can only work toward change. :hi:
