You know, I've talked to people about that. On the one hand, they are
quick to explain all the reasons why Made in China is "bad". But then
they toddle their asses down to Walmart et al and proceed to buy
cartloads of stuff made in China and all those other bad places.

Interestingly, when confronted with such obvious hypocrisy, they
present the most convienent rationalizations... usually one of the
following...

a) Since all our "good jobs" have gone overseas to places like China,
we have hardly any money and have no choice but to buy the cheap items
made in China.

b) Since so much is made overseas, we hardly have any Made in the USA
products to choose from so we have no choice but to buy items made in
China.

It's always refreshing to see that blaming everyone but yourself never
goes out of fashion.
