Good rant and on target. As I have gotten older I have been more aware of how politics and advertising play a bigger roll in what people buy. Like lambs they follow the piper. If the piper has someone else pulling the strings then... Cadillac is a good example. I watched them over the years transform the image of Cadillac. One of lack luster luxury to a Performance Luxury. And today they have just that image. So it goes hand in hand. I follow the beat of a different drummer. I feel the need... the need for speed. Or just an apperance of said speed The american people hold the key in their hands as to how this will play out. Who do you love?
