Seriously... This is the kind of mentality that REALLY jerks my chain. This is the same kind of thinking that allows people to get MAD that the JOBS are all going overseas, yet everybody wants to buy cheap shirts/shoes/cars/tools, etc. Sometimes the whole IS worth more than the sum of it's parts - in this poor fellow's world, literally. I can sympathize that you want to make as much money as you can - that's natural, but there's always a price to be paid. Next time you hear fellas griping and moaning about people not buying American, or another plant closing in the US to be opened in IndoChina - do everyone a favor - swallow your pride AND any negative comments about it, because you, my friend, are contributing to the problem... In the late 80's / early 90's, society was all up in arms about the Japanese buying up tons of land in CA and HI. Problem is, for them to buy it, SOMEONE had to sell it. Here's another example: you've got some automatic weapons laying around. Someone who is dressed like a gangbanger, talks like a gangbanger, walks like a gangbanger, and has with him 6 friends acting the same way - well these folks offer you $200 more each for your weapons than you could get elsewhere. Do you sell it to them? No need to answer here - you're the one who has to live with your decision. G'head. Sell your stuff to whoever you want. Just be honest with yourself about who and what you're selling out. Beauty part about America is that you're 100% free to cut your nose off to spite your face... my nickle.
