Thanks, John, that's all we ask - that people listen to both sides and then make their own decisions. As for finding few things made in the U.S., that is the point. Everything is being outsourced because of companies like Wal-Mart. As you say, Sue, we can do without a lot of stuff - at least long enough to make these companies that outsource reconsider. Only a negative financial impact will cause a change. Wal-Mart recently lost a lawsuit brought against them regarding lunch breaks for employees. It is a significant win for their employees, but, of course, the company is appealing. If the courts uphold the initial decision, maybe Wal-Mart will begin doing better by their employees. Another major lawsuit is before the courts - that one is for discrimination against women. Their commercials sure paint a different picture, don't they?
