Something worth watching on your Made-in-Taiwan TV.


ABC News is running an interesting series this week: Made in America. They went to a home in Dallas where the family agreed to remove everything that wasn't made in American and replace it with something that was. Tonight's episode only dealt with the removal, which was extensive. No surprise to find that very little in their home was made in America. So out went the knick-knacks, furniture, fabrics, toys, kitchen appliances, just about everything. The family came home to an empty house.Now it will be interesting to see if they can replace all the removed items with American products. This is serious stuff because it proves what idiots we are to have let politicans sell our country out from under us. America is get weaker and weaker and it's our own fault. We didn't care when they stopped manufacturing products here and we didn't complain when practically every item in every store came from some other country. I, for one, will make every effort to purchase products completely made in he U.S. (not just assembled here) even if they cost more. The only products that I'm aware of being made in America are all the clear plastic storage bins I have made by Sterite. They're strong, they're good quality and they don't cost very much, at least not at Big Lots. Sadly I use them to store all the crap I've purchased that comes from China, India, Bangladesh, Mexico and other countries not us. I really plan to change that.
