Its genetic. Is this the best inteRlectual argument that you can make for the superiority of German and inferiority of any other Nation's manufactured goods? Just because a man (or woman) may ride an ass to work, doesn't place his or her intellect or technical craftsmanship in question. By your theory only goods in the US should be absolutely superior because we only have the best people here from all the other genetically pure nations. Or have we tainted the blot lines by letting those genetically pure Arians mix with the "mud races?" Dangerous ground that way of thinking. Leads to lots of suffering. Pride and belief in good craftsmanship and nation is an admirable thing. What you have just promoted here on the LUG goes quite a bit beyond that. Carpe Luminem, Michael E.
