I try, mind you try, to purchase what I can that says "Made in USA", Canada or even Mexico first before going off-soil for a product.

I was told by somebody once that there was a place in China that was called "USA" (pronounced oosah) and that the govt made them change it because we were thinking all along that we were buying from the GOOD OLE USA and we were actually supporting Usa, China or Made in the USA.

Not sure if its true or not but it made me laugh.

Actually, you'll find "Made in US" on a lot of things. Be careful, "US" is more often a China US Commonwealth island of Saipan or other NOrthern Mariana islands.

I say make China the 51st State. That will teach them that we mean business. I wonder what the heck does a Chinese beer taste like.
