....by not buying a damned thing either at a real store or an internet
store. :}


We did all go out to dinner last night, at a restaurant where none of
the food was produced in China.

Did you turn the plates over to see if they were made in China? What about
the cutlery? Might have been Mexico, Japan or Korea.

You might want to give up the anti-China thing.

Doubt the GPS or depth finder you us is really made in the USA. Even if it
says made in the US, open it up - 90% or more of the parts came from Asia.
Fishing line? Knives?

Could get really hard to enjoy life without those Asian made stuff. But
with the US dollar being so soft on the world markets, yep our
banking/congress system sure has made it more expensive.

Why should I give up the anti-PRC thing? I don't have problems with
goods made in Japan or Korea.

Actually, my fishing line is made in Putnam by Woodstock Line.

As to knives? Made by Russel Harrington in Southbridge, MA. My
Leatherman tools are made in Portland, OR. My fishing knives are all
Buck and made in Idaho.

Ah - life is good. :)

While visiting a friend in the Netherlands, I gave him a Leatherman I'd
ordered from LLBean as a Christmas present. I was proud of the fact it was
a quality tool made in the USA.

When he opened it, he said it was made in Taiwan. I thought he was talking
about the box and told him so. He then showed my on the pliers tool the
stamp, "Made in Taiwan". I was so ****ed at LLBean!

When I got back to Stuttgart, I called LLBean. They immediately sent me
another, telling me not to worry about returning the earlier one. The one
they sent was made in the USA. I've never seen LLBean sell another one made
in Taiwan. I think the Leatherman folks got the word on that fiasco.
