Brand names....Ok lets see...I see alot of sony products,but shurly you aren't compring them to an automobile are you?How many TV's would you have to buy to equal one automobile? Your car says more about you than any single purchase you make.I am sorry if I am a proud American who worked an assembly line and whose father was in the second wave on the beach at Omaha who also has a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.Try to answer at least one of mt questions this time.It seems you can't answer any of them!
