Well since you brought up the auto manufacturers..... Obviously there are
some cases where we have no choice in the matter. But in my own personal
case, I will NEVER buy a new car from the auto manufacturers.... I will
however buy one at least one year old, and from a private party, not a
dealership.

There are other obvious cases as well where conceding in this issue is
almost unavoidable. Obviously if your situation requires you to have an
automobile, then purchasing fuel would be an at least occaisional
requirement. Still in those cases, I choose to support the locally owned
franchisee's as opposed to truly corporate owned gas stations.

EXACTLY!!!!!! You've got it all figured out for sure!

Who the hell do General Motors and Ford and Mercedes think they are
anyhow --- we used to have hundreds of different auto manufacturers?
Let's
open a blacksmith shop in our village and build our own cars, like our
grandfathers did! And, yeah, quit buying computers from Dell and
Gateway --- we have sand in our neighborhood --- we can make our own
silicon
chips just as well as Intel does! Dole pineapples --- who needs them
anyhow, I bet we can grow perfectly good pineapples here in Minnesota.
Who
needs all this corporate crap anyhow?
