OK, maybe I've been busy lately and distracted but I didn't know about defective Chinese drywall.

Why do we keep importing goods that can and should be manufactured from THIS country?

A Coldwell Banker colleague told me that CB already has [yet another] addendum to their contracts - yes, the CHINESE DRYWALL DISCLOSURE. 

I've been to Home Depot with my husband while he bought drywall, I don't remember any tags saying where the drywall was made.  Does it smell like rotten eggs right from the get-go or does it have to be installed for a year or two?

Last week when I went grocery shopping; I was determined to buy produce grown in our United States - I found produce from Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico but had to look really close to find produce grown in our soil.  There were quite a few items that had no disclosure at all.

Are we still buying toys with lead paint - again, made in China?

I'm not against China; I'm against this country importing goods that can be made in THIS country by workers living in THIS country. 

When are we going to say enough is enough? 

Many of you may remember this:    

First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.   by the Rev. Martin Niemöller
