They purchased AMC 20 years prior to your vehicle purchase. And Jeeps have never been known to be things like 'leak free'. OTOH, I was rather impressed with how they built them, at least relating to the 1978 CJ5 I used to have. Ran several miles at highway speed with no oil in the sump. And for tens of thousands of miles after refilling it :D Oh, it had about 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. But problem free? Well, how did the oil drain out?

Point is, if you had gone by anything other than anecdotal evidence, you would have known what you were in for.

BTW, if a mere word inflames your hemorrhoids and thus causing your butt to hurt, perhaps you should consult a proctologist.

So if an African American objects to being called a 'nigger', an Asian Indian to being called a 'wog', a Hispanic to being called a 'spic', etc. you think they should all consult a protologist? All of these terms are or were in far greater usage than 'USian'.

Reasonable idea, but I suspect GE, Samsung, Whirlpool, and all the other manufacturers of Internet connected widgets will force you to buy a certificate from their app store. Hacking your light bulb to install your own certificate will be a federal crime, punishable by PMITA prison or worse.

I'm not sure him being Jewish was relevant. He never mentions it in the part of his diatribe that I read on scribd. Never mentions synogogue or any aspect of Jewish life. I'm guessing that while he may have some genetics that indicate he is of partial Jewish descent, I haven't see that he is one in a cultural, mental, or religious manner.
