You are right, it is impossible to find American-made products now, and that makes it so hard. I don't shop at Walmart unless absolutely necessary, maybe twice a year, and buy as little as possible. They are one of the worst offenders of carrying Chinese-made products because they are almost the only complete-goods store in every city (Target also gets Chinese-made) I actually was appalled to find out that when we recycle, our reclyclables are processed locally and then SHIPPED to China so they can make products out of it, and then sell it back to us!!!! It soured me on recycling, though I still do it because I don't want the refuse to go into our landfills. Our country is also shipping chicken to China to be processed and packaged and then sent back for us to buy and eat! I buy only American raised and processed chicken. It's so hard to hold our ground when we are faced with so much contemptible and disgusting practices!<br /><br />Today was a tragic and sad anniversary...I've been watching the Fox News special about 9/11 and its been emotional. I woke up this morning thinking about 14 years ago today when I drove to work and heard about it on the radio, then watched what was happening on the TV with my co-workers in horror. This is a day we have to all remember. The things that are happening in our country right now wouldn't have seemed possible on that day, and yet the unspeakable, unbelievable is happening as we pander to the enemy and leave our belly exposed to them. It's a second tragedy. <br /><br />Thanks for posting!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557614577091431398.post-1264319140211827862015-09-11T16:24:06.409-04:002015-09-11T16:24:06.409-04:00Very thought provoking.
