“I refuse to purchase Chinese products (except for porcelain and silk).”
So, do you have anything else in your house besides porcelain and silk, (plus a gun and a dog;) Just kidding, but it is extremely hard to find consumer products which are NOT manufactured by the Chicoms!
I purchase a lot of stuff off of Ebay or from other ‘secondary’ sources. It is possible to buy “new with tags” items at such sources.
True, I spend a lot of time reading labels for the source of a product but I really want to buy items made in North America as much as possible, and specifically U.S.A.
Buying U.S.A. will be more and more difficult especially since Obama is creating an even more hostile business environment than existed before his administration.
I do own dogs — a Golden Retriever and an English Springer Spaniel. Both are definitely ‘gun dogs’.
