    I think if we're about to start complaining about small things like magnets and trace amounts of lead in the paint on toys we should probably take a look at bigger problems including the number 1 killer, poor diet and lack of exercise...
    It does seem strange that all these problems seem to have arisen, oh, in the past month. Everything from fish to toys. Politics being played? Maybe. We're more picky? Maybe. Actual product more dangerous due to increased cost cutting or increasing indifference? Maybe. Who knows these days.

      I do care. When there is a choice, I will buy something made in this country. Same with green products. When there is an option to buy something recycled vs virgin, I am gonna buy recycled. And price dosent even factor in, I have paid double or triple before so I could have my prefference.

      Its becoming harder and harder these days to find ANYTHING made here.

                I don't look at where it's made from, when purchasing a product

                  Ironically one the best marketing guru's is also French - and with a string of clients from General Motors onwards. His speciality is in creating a target market and convincing them of a "need", a boost in their ego or whatever - and leading em like a lambs to the slaughter - or credit card

                  His marketing obviously works - there are plenty maxed-out cards as evidence *lol*
