Whyever wouldn't you buy from China? I'm distressed by not having other options, but almost every non-food item I get seems to be from China these days. How doyou avoid that? Oh, do they count as a dictator-ruled country? How do you ever find clothes?

Arab countries - ah, so that's why you're up on gasoline. Do you have a special supplier?

Guess you do without Colombian coffee and all that Mexican meat and produce, since both countries are known as drug-origin countries.

Yup, Wal-mart I knew about, but as much as I abhor the practice, I can't afford to pay higher prices for my principles just now. I can say that I buy New Balance, not Nike (thus supporting the workers up in Bahstahn, supposedly).

You're admirable, and if we all could shop that way, it would force manufacturing to return to the US.
