[jeremiah]

Is everyone out there still buying the less expensive products, or American? For me, I watch closely, and try to avoid anything made by the PRC.

I attempt to buy American. Or American built (such as a Japanese brand car made in Normal, Ill.). Second, I'll buy Hecho en Mexico as an effort to keep them on *their* side of the border.

I don't go out of my way but I do check the competitor's for "Made in" information. Since I often find nothing else even among competing products, I still end up with too much "Made in China," imho.

Thank the bastard unions.
