But he didn't say that. Our current Walmart driven culture is that the
only thing that matters is price. Thats what gets us into melamine
flavored dog food and toys with lead paint. If you keep on squeezing
suppliers and looking in every dark alley for cheap stuff you will find it.

Wrong...what gets us poisoned dog food, poisoned toothpaste and
poisoned toys is that American companies are not doing QA to save a
buck and passing those savings on to the CEO's compensation.

And we had a Republican Congress and President who allowed it to
happen while being compensated for it.

Consumers always choose quality over price when the kids and the dog
are dropping dead.

I'm starting to think you have a hard-on for corporate management.

If consumers bought quality BEFORE, the dog and kid would never have
been at risk.

But the great unwashed masses choose price - not quality.

So that's what businesses supplied them.

It's the BUYER who sets the selling price. And the quality.
Basic economics...

Look, ok, it's fun to sit at the computer and vent, but what really
do you think you are changing here?

LOL...pretty myoptic aren't you?

Change starts with a single person.

The Internet is used by millions..a collective conscious.

These same discussions are being typed and read by millions of parents
who will be making the buying decisions this Christmas. More than one
parent will be bringing a lead testing kit to the store before making
their purchase.

Let's just sit back and watch retail toy sales this Christmas.

What goes around and is coming around for Mattel....right between the
eyes.

Why else would the Mattel CEO be groveling on the news? Exercise? LOL
