This country used to lead the world in manufacturing until we actually got some competition. The reason we lost our share of the motorcycle market is very simple: we built **** motorcycles which didn't start and leaked oil! And the same's valid for our automotive industry. Just look at the garbage Land Rover is turning out after 50 years of building them. Sad day if we end up like the Japanese? You're having a laugh aren't you? The day we ever attain their standards of build quality and reliability won't ever happen, I can assure you. Oh, and whose outboard engines, computers, TVs etc. did they copy? Answer: nobody's, because there was nothing worth copying unless you count our beloved Seagull outboard engines, ha ha!!!
