Whether some PR mole at one of the formerly Big Three automakers started recirculating the e-mail or just some allegedly patriotic American, there’s a largely bogus e-mail in cyberspace right now contrasting the post-9/11 response of the noble American carmakers to the chintzy Japs and Euros.
Well, the e-mail is selective in factual content and lying in produced impression, as Snopes points out. The e-mail startd in October 2001 and has been recirculated recently.
As for patriotism:
1. Is it patriotic to inflict junk on Americans?
2. Is it patriotic to continue to build gas-guzzlers using foreign oil even as you know Peak Oil is coming?
3. Is it patriotic to continue to build gas-guzzlers knowing you’re contributing to global warming?
The answers, of course, are no, no, and no.
