I have purchased two (for sure) or three (maybe) Chinese products since the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. Both of those cases were emergencies (meaning that I did not have the luxury to shop for an alternative).

Yet I, a believer in the free-market, am somehow forcing these people to buy Chinese products. Or somehow even more magically, the Federal Government must force me to not buy the products I'm not buying (or force me to stop forcing these people to buy Chinese products I'm not buying myself).

Have you stopped eating, brushing your teeth and caring for your apartment?

Bullcrap. It's not near impossible but it is impossible to have ONLY bought 2-3 items that originated in China since 1989. It would take a person hours upon end to shop for simple items NOT made in China. For instance 42% of R/X drug ingrediants come from China. You have not taken any meds or aspirin since 1989?

Just read this again. So if you buy a toothbrush, pen, greeting card, baseball cap or pennant at a ball game, lawn sprinkler, air filter for your car, dvd etc you check to make sure it was not made in China? Bullcrap again!!!!!!!!!!!!
