Many people find names like "jap" offensive. Let's try to be a little more sensitive. "Tough talk" does not help convey ideas; it just keeps people from listening to what you have to say. Harvey S. Cohen, American Bell, Lincroft, NJ

Reference: The article that was pro-Harley/America/Standard of Living In addition to "jap" you used "rice-cycle." That may be clever, but I have to agree that it gives the impression of a close-minded bigot. Your ideas might be sound (although I, personally, don't agree with them) but your delivery negates any positive effect they may have. Obviously, issue is an emotional one for you, but gentle persuasion has always worked better than hard-hitting cliches.
