Well Bass,
Bush got elected by a "questionable" 347 votes in Florida. I don't
think
that will happen again.
I do think that a Mars/Moon program would provide massive jobs IF
the
parts, software, and supplies and raw materials are "Made In USA"
Walmart/SUV mentality. It is really getting difficult to find
American Made products. Last night I was in Office Depot and saw
this
nifty American Flag Stamp. In 2 colors and well detailed. I was
about to
buy it until I turned it over and the sticker read "Made in China."
I
looked on shelf after shelf and could not find even 1 item made in
the
"good ole USA." I must admit, I was gloomy after shopping.
On to Best Buys, I reached for an RCA (Radio Corporation of America)
video camera, and lo and behold, it was made in Korea. So, I ended
up
going home with out buying anything.
You see, my own way of protesting is not to buy foreign made
products.
Regards,
Capt. Frank
Well done Frank. I wish someone would take this cause up for real.
While corporations have no legal responsibility (nor the moral
cahones)
to support their own country, consumers do.
Yeah, let's do a total boycott of all foreign goods! Enjoy your
walk...'cause you will not find an automobile made in the U.S. from
parts
made only in the U.S. While you're at it, you better sew your own
shoes...'cause I doubt you'll find a pair made in the U.S. from
materials
made only in the U.S.
You are an extremist. More selectivity along with a clear campaign led
by consumer advocates might really help our current situation.
I'm really curious if a large enough percentage of people would in fact
pay a little more for an American made product if that differentiation
were made evident.
I would. However, historically, the answer has been "no". It's not just
corporations' profits driving corporations overseas...the consumer's desire
for the lowest priced good is driving 'em away.
