I friggin' hear yah, and I friggin' respect what you are friggin' sayin' if you know what I friggin' mean. Life in the greatest countries in the world, never was that great, but it is getting worse. Pretty soon every job will start out at 6.78 an hour, but hey! your kitchen set will be 11.95 from China. There are a few drawbacks however. I bought a dozen pairs of namebrand socks about 3 weeks ago. Fait en Chine, natch. So I look at them now, and what? Shrunk of course, and holes in heels and toes. I used to wear socks for several years and they did not wear out. And then shirts were sanforized and they did not shrink a size after washing. Everything is crap. India is higher quality than China. But they do not export much to Canuckistan. I remember when we used to make things in this country. You could buy something made in Canuckistan and it had real durability to it. Fuhggedaboudid. EC<:-}
