[AT] Re: Chinese Iron

[Cecil Bearden]

Try to find clothing made in the USA.  Carrhart is the only work clothing 
that I can find here in OK that is Made in the USA.  We used to have a 
Wrangler  factory in Seminole, OK.  But they had to move overseas to keep 
paying their stockholders.  A couple of years ago, I stqarted buying USA 
made whenever possible.  Many times it means getting a piece of used older 
equipment and rebuilding it..  It means more work, but I am trying to 
support the country that secures the house and table I put my food on.
When I traveled west a couple of weeks ago, I found that even the Native 
Americans were having to label their jewelry because some of it was being 
made in Korea and sold as native American.
I sometimes wonder if our boys overseas are going to come home to find the 
job they left in order to serve their country will be sold out to a foreign 
worker....
Just my $0.02
