RED TAPE ? What about the free trade agreement! Am I missing
something here? In Oz we had US leaders (Maybe Clinton could be Bush
Jnr) bangin" on about free trade. I guess China is ommitted/immune
from such BS.We are getting screwed here. If any of these items were
made in the US quality would not be an issue,item price maybe, but
how much is your ass worth? welcome to the quality(and thus price)
battle.
Watch what the Krautes do, they dont waste their time on crap, its
far to valuable to waste. I have an American made Walker Mower very
costly, very. And worth every cent. As a proffessional I respect
Quality and the high standard ticks all the boxes. would I buy
something else, NO. You Yanks make some good stuff. Caterpillar
aren"t the tool of choice because of price. Don't stop. Don't trade
quality
for price. We are digging great holes for iron ore,and digging even
bigger holes to pile the cheap crap into after it has broken, or even
worse just failed to do the job. You want to Know why the US is
broke. your money is going off shore to manure producers, and so is
ours. I'd rather spend 1$ on an American peace of crap because It at
least would be advertisedas such and usable on the garden. Somecrap
fails after serving no purpose at all. Go ahead US. sell us all down
the shit stream. Or lift your game, hold your head up, and hold
yourself above that low standard, Quality attracts quality, as
mentioned in the chrysler thread. If they make rubbish they'll be
rubbished.
I hope this may inspire some positive power. We in Oz make bugger
all. We're just diggin holes, not to fill, just to empty. When thats
all gone and our farms are all sold to the Chinese, we will truly be
part of Asia. And resemble Arabs with no oil. WE ARE A CONTINENT,
STAND OUT, NOT ALONE. Get it together peoples .Think global, act
local. Tiger Woods gets paid $1,000,000 to play golf in Australia,
win,lose or draw. not because he is pretty,not because of his moral
standards because of his golf. Quality will win-out. Watch and see
what happens to Coby Bryant, the basketballer, If his game don't
suffer he will endure,sad but true.

I just had a similar discussion with friends about Chinese poor
quality and
hazardous stuff in products. Some of the hazardous stuff may not have
shadowed
our shores; but I am in doubt of the safety and quality. I am looking for
product made other than China. They recognize no safety and patent
obligations
like most other countries. When we buy there we take jobs away from more
civilized countries. I may end up walking around buck naked if I can
not get
clothes made elsewhere!

FYI Dale the Kiwi's make excellent clothing. I was given a jersey
when I was living in N.Z. in '95, it's a personal favorite, gets a
lot of use, and I reckon it's still got another 17 yrs in it. And when
it dies it'll make a good polishing rag, then grease rag. This was
made by Lenco, also try Fairydown, Canterbury Clothing, Swanndri, Line
7, Icebreaker, Postie, there are more. They make good clothing, They
just don't make much noise about it. Oh, you'll also get excellent
service. If an Aussie is giving you a "good" report on Kiwi's, it must
be true. (lol).
