| Re: boycotting Bach/Conn/Selmer (Steinway)
Very good points Robin. Our country passed mass producing products of quality a long time ago and you're right, there is not an easy way to go back to that way of doing things. It used to be if you bought American, quality was #1. I wish we still had reasons for pride in that regard. I know this country is supposed to be some kind of poster child for "open thinking and acceptance", but I do wish we had taken care of our own in some respects and kept it up. Practically everything this country created has been made better and/or cheaper by someone else outside of the US. Just an example, the large percentage of our appliances and automobiles were made more efficient by Japanese engineers. Why didn't WE do that? For all of the complaining, we have no one to blame but ourselves for this outcome. |
