we are the ones that drove past the local hardware store for the fast fix and cheap prices that home depot offered when they opened. they drove the little guys who sold american out of business and have slowly cheapened product and reduced the quality of their workforce. when i say 'we' i mean most americans. i have been to walmart maybe three times in my life and given an opportunity buy quality over price. we have gone from a nation of service and quality seekers to a gather cheaply and dispose society. a ww2 surplus vehicle with almost all of its components rebuildable and serviceable is a such a foreign concept today that we need to stick around and show people - see this fuel pump - it came from a time when you could rebuild it. a few parts in a prepackaged kit installed with hand tools and simple instructions! wow. reduce, reuse, recycle. we dodgers have been green since day one and we didn't even know it!
