Made in China

This is almost becoming a phrase that means buyer beware.

It was bad enough with the poisoned dog food that came from there a few months ago then the toothpaste scare of recent weeks and now the latest is children's toys with excessive lead paint on them. This last one with the paint has forced Fisher Price to recall several toys made for them in China.

So many coincidences over so short a time has got to make one wonder what the hell is going on. Are they secretly out to get us. You might think so but they ship these same items to England and elsewhere in the world.

During the Second World War we saved their collective butts by driving the Japanese out of their country. They had no Army or any serious weapons in which to fight a large invasion. You'd think they'd be a more grateful nation rather than the ambivalent one they seem to be.
