I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've posted, but I wanted to let you all know I'm getting my content in gear!
 
In the mean time, I received an interesting email. While I can't take credit for it, it does have some merit.
 
Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a dress shirt ( MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans ( MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA ). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his
calculator ( MADE IN MEXICO ) TO SEE HOW MUCH
HE COULD SPEND TODAY.  AFTER SETTING HIS WATCH
(MAD E IN TAIWAN)
to the radio ( MADE IN INDIA ) he got in
his car ( MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search
for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.   At the
end of yet another discouraging and
fruitless day checking his Computer  
(Made In Malaysia ), Joe decided to relax for a while! He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine ( MADE IN FRANCE.! ) and turned on his TV (MA DE IN INDONESIA ), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in

AMERICA ....

    I find it interesting any time I read little blurbs like these - like the guy cannot get a job because he doesn't buy American. It never mentions all the American jobs related to the design, distrubution and sales of these imported goods. Like everything got her magically overnight by the foreign goods fairy.

    Yeah, doesn't work that way. I can understand the concern many have regarding jobs getting outsourced, but over the top exagerated "stories" like this never help. Wouldn't it be nice if everything could be made affordably in this country so consumers could afford them? Sure, but that isn't always the case.

    This isn't a knock agains Dakotta - I just felt compelled to comment because I have seen so many of these in email since I started using email back in the 90s.
