Thanks for the list Dave. I saved it to disc this time so I won't have to bug you about it again.

I have a confession, though. I recently bought 4 Michelin tires for my pickup, but only after doing the research to find that they were made in South Carolina.

The problem with your tires and other products made in America by Americans for companies owned by the French, is the $'s that go to France after we purchase them.

Then they use those $'s against us.

It is a tough issue. I would like to see those companies hurt enough for the French to sell them back to Americans, including the Americans who work for them.

My wife has a brother who works for an American owned tire competitor. They were talking about selling out or closing the plant where he works. The boycott against French tires has enabled them to keep ownership and that plant open.
