Squaring Off Over ‘Good Old American Con Game’

What a relief to read a rational rebuttal to the current Japan-bashing hysteria being whipped up by crybaby Detroit auto execs, certain politicians, some of the media, and just about anybody who does not wish to discover and face the truth and shoulder at least some of the responsibility for the deficiencies in our own country.

Rather than unthinkingly bash and blindly fix blame when things aren’t going our way, can’t we try to educate our people to become better global citizens and realize the interdependence all humans will increasingly share as the earth’s natural resources are depleted?
