If a bare log can be shipped all the way across the Pacific ocean, transported to a mill, cut into lumber, then transported to a factory and made into chairs... then those chairs can be loaded into containers and shipped back to the U.S. and sold to people for a *lower price* than if the log was cut and manufactured into chairs here in the U.S.... then maybe we shouldn't be in the chair business???

Maybe we shouldn't be in the small arms ammunition business either.

Huh?

If you're saying that something like ammunition for the military should stay domestic for national security reasons, then we can make that choice, as long as we know and are willing to pay a higher price for something that we could get alot more of for the same money elsewhere.

Maybe it's worth the money, maybe it's not. Kinda depends on the price, doesn't it?
