Some good points about Asian parts, and the conditions of the
people making them Dan. However, the secondary part of my
concerns is that many of the companies producing those parts are
backed by American and European companies who chose to bale
out of the industrial manufacturing systems here so they could
get cheap labor and less "restrictive" working conditions.
I wish there was an easy solution, but I refuse to support
multi-million dollar corporations abusing the conditions of
workers in less fortunate countries.
I could start to quote Michael Moore and Ross Perot here but I
won't! :)
