(I'm trying to help rationalize this for you, Harry, but there's no

good
explanation I guess).


You have a list of 25' pilothouse fishing boats produced in the United
States by a unionized workforce?



24' Alumaweld Formula Vee with Evinrude outboards...towed behind a Ford
F150.

Union-made ain't too appealing, eh?

I gave you the extensive list:
Alumaweld boats.
Evinrude engines.

You're proving my point for me. When choosing between union-made and non
union-made, there isn't usually much of a choice.

Do you really believe that you are doing the country a favor by buying Made
in China products at a store *other* than Wal-Mart? Your gripe has been
about the loss of manufacturing jobs. *Where* you buy your foreign made
products has virtually no impact on a manufacturer's decision as to where
he'll build them.
