Unfortunately (and I admit that I am guilty of this too), the average American thinks no further than what the "cheapest" item is. They have no loyality to America either, when it comes to buying American products. Quality no longer has any meaning to them and they are happy to buy "real wood" furniture, when 50 years ago, one could buy beautiful oak, cherry or mahagony furniture and really have something to be proud of.

You really are an anachronism. Don't you know that today we live in a throw-away society? Everything is, or has to be, replaceable. How else could we support our consumerist society? How dare you suggest that instead of consumerism we believe in the sovereignty of America and the superiority of the American people as a society? Don't you realize that only the very rich should be allowed to buy quality goods? The rest of us should satisfied with cheap crap, produced simply so that we can buy it so that the corporation will garner more profit.

I think I am being mostly sarcastic.
