To all, Ithink we should avoid buying anything made in a foriegn country regardless of the need and cost. Every lost sale, enough of them will get the message through the blockhead store managers. No sales, no reorder, no incoming shipment from a foriegn country. When they realize that the unwanted goods is not selling, only taking up shelf and counter space that should be used for American made products. We need to have more "don't buy gas days." Wonder what the Saudis would do with all that oily sand should the glut hit the market and sales were cut back considerably? We all need to dowhat wecan,though it be in asnall way, to get this country back on its feet. Refusing to buy foriegn goods is a start. Driving less is another way. If each person across the country who drives would cut back on his gas purchases for one day, can you imagine how much less the country would have to buy from other coubtrys? Amazing how things add up. We no longer buy any part of those $10,000.00 cows or $5,000.00 pigs. We get along just fine without them.The chicken and fish aren't too out of reach, yet!
