Agreed.


However, preferring products made locally is a different matter.
I prefer clothes, food, furniture, etc. made here in Norway because it supports local businesses, is eco friendly, usually better quality and because I'm a patriot.
And that's OK, isn't it?

I have a long standing personal boycott of products from certain countries with severe human rights issues. No, I won't name those countries on a global car forum and no, USA is not one of them.
Is that not OK?

I would urge any and all to get involved in the real issues. There are many to chose from.
