Wil, loved that commerial. You can just sense the pride of process,industry,country. The struggle to get free of economic oppression of others to give the best product you can for the greater good of your own countrymen. That's what real patriotism is without actually using the word. It's underlying and unspoken. At least it used to be. I'm Canadian and I remember when we made all kinds of stuff. (I pulled the bearings apart on the M37CDN and all the Timken bearings and races were made in Canada) I know it sounds stupid but I saved them just because they said "Made in Canada".
People don't talk like that in commercials or anything else for that matter any more. Now when we buy stuff, the underlying feeling is Borat's Rubber Fist!
