No one is saying we should forget anything. I'm simply saying its hypocritical to berate other companies/countries when our own "home team" isn't innocent in the least. If you are going to let these things effect your buying decisions, You might as well move to some small, powerless, inconsequential nation and only buy things made there. The US is not innocent. GM is not innocent. Ford is not innocent. If you're going to let VW's, Mitsubishi's, Nissan's, etc pasts prevent you from buying their vehicles, let's see you prevent yourself from buying Fords for Henry Fords racism, antisemitism... GMs for Opel's part in WWII for Germany and Hitler... Or anything American for past slavery, anti-feminism, the war in Iraq, many acts of harassment to homosexuals, etc. If anything is propaganda, its what you and PCS are spewing. The past is the past. Let's not forget it, but let's not run our lives by it. Germany isn't run by Hitler anymore, Japan ISN'T still fighting WWII, America abolished slavery, gave women rights, will soon enough pull out of Iraq once Bush is finally out of office and eventually will give us homosexuals the rights we deserve. THE PAST IS THE PAST. The longer you stay stagnant over the past, the more irrelevant your views become and border on conspiracy theories.
