was made in China.

And, to avoid busting the budget by simply shopping in the highest
end joints in Naples area, it was damn difficult to avoid that sticker,
made in China.

I kept track for awhile, but the list was short of non-China made goods:
our telephone sys., our Sony NoBaloney 60" LCoS TV, our DVD player,
our a/v receiver, a few furninture pieces, good knives, wine cooler,
sheets and that kinda stuff, and everything else was MIC.

Not to pick on WalMart, but they must have about a 75% ratio of MIC goods.
If China fell off the map, WallyWorld would close in a week when inventories dried up.

Not beating on China, and espc. its "people", but human rights are somewhere on
the 7th or 8th page of things to consider, there, imo.
Good Dig Out, by the bye...
