 Too many people think the consumers of a particular country can make a 
 difference.  No, the consumers are going to buy what the consumers want to 
 buy.  Manufacturers, therefore, need to produce what the consumer wants to 
 buy.  If there is a reason that so many foreign products sell well in North 
 America, North American manufacturers need to figure out what all the other 
 countries are DOING RIGHT, and learn to compete in the global economy as the 
 other countries have done.  -Dave
