[DeTomaso] DB electric starter bites the dust

[Boyd Casey]

One good thing about Nippon-denso is that it is Japanese which is afar cry
from Chinese. Now I have a bone to pick with the Japanese . My grandfather
was a major General and Chief engineer of the Pacific theater under
MacArthur ( Major General Hugh J. Casey ) he was also in the army of the
occupation of Japan. IMHO the Japanese were far worse then the Nazis.
Mitsubishi which is still in business used US P.O.W.'s as s slave labor in
their factories. American POW's held by the Japaneses had a 10% survival
rate , American POW's held by the Nazis had a 90% survival rate. BUT they
are now a democracy ,one of our best allies and they make some of the best
products in the world. Toyota, Honda, Sony to name a few. So in the
interest of supporting our economy I would try to buy American when
possible , but there is no comparison between buying Japanese and buying
Chinese. Just my 2 cents.
P.S. My uncle Maj. Hugh Boyd Casey was KIA in the Korean War  ( which was
for a large part fought by the Chinese ) Manners and decorum prevent me
from. Saying what I really think of the Chinese.
