To: Age of Reason
Whoa, dude! Hold the friendly fire man, I'm anti-CAFTA, pro fair trade, anti-Red China and anti-globalist. I'm just parodying the free trader nonsense where a while back, I made the comment that they "are like an 8-Track tape, an endless loop," when all they do to defend their position is bringing up cheap sugar, buggy whip makers, and Smoot-Hawley, in short my 8-Track parody is just a humorous attempt to show that's all they do when they are cornered with reality.
IIRC, Red China wasn't really a player in the global market until the late 1980's or so, even as late as 1984, finding something made in Red China was somewhat rare. Probably the 8-Track player I showed, the Panasonic Plunger was most likely made in Japan, being mid 1970's vintage.
In short, I'm just pulling the globalist, free traders chains here, maybe my message didn't quite hit the target, but even so, the free traders bring up the same arguements so much, they might as well put it on an 8-Track tape and run it over and over again.
I admit, I do love old electronic stuff, like to fix old radios and would like to tackle a TV or two from time to time. I do have an old 1970 Zenith color TV I'd like to get back into action but that's for another time.
So in short, I'm with ya, I'm just poking fun at the globalists and free traders. I do agree this is a serious game though and our voices are not being heard. It is a sellout of America pure and simple.
As to the old jalopy pic, the free traders will not stop until we are all driving around in old cars looking for work.
