Geez...according to all these articles lately about China made products I have to wonder...do the Chinese actually use their own products? If so...then isn''t it a wonder that there is still anyone alive in China?

I wonder how many Chinese executives were taken out and secretly shot over this one. Isn''t it just great that George Bush signed the free trade bill created by the Republican Congress and Senate that has America doing business with a country that makes Pol Pot of Cambodia look like Eddie Haskel from "Leave it to Beaver." Isn''t it nice that George Bush encouraged American manufacturing to leave America so people who are already obnoxiously wealthy could have more. All while he wiped out the American middle class and enslaved the poor Chinese peasants who were better off farming to sustain their families.

If you''re a government worker who never worked 16 hour days for years in a hot factory, you may not understand how horrible factory conditions in China surely are.

Lead, in varying quantities, occurs naturally in the soil, ALL soil.

So, anything that grows in the soil and anything that eats what grows in the soil contains lead.

We cannot completely prevent the ingestion of lead.

One product that won''t be touched -
American Brand Automobiles - Built - Outside the - U.S.

No-one has The - Balls - To go after Them ! ! !

After shipping the American Auto Industry to :
Canada -- Mexico -- Germany -- France

The Regean - Bush Administration - "Authorized" - All the previous American
Safety Factors taken out.

The metal was thinned by 50% - The Safety Welds were taken out.
Steel Welds were Replaced by Brass Welds or Aluminum Rivets

Safety Braces gone were : All Fender Braces - 3 roof braces - 2 Trunk braces -
2 trunk top braces - 2 engine compartment braces -
2 hood braces - 4 corner (safety) braces (each corner from the frame to the roof)

No more - Safety Inspectors
No more - Safety Inspections

That year the combined Management Branch of all American Automakers
Gave themselves a : Ninety ($ 90,000,000.00) million dollar pay bonus.
Proclaiming : They were such good managers.

That very same week : The Management Branch - Told the Unions
Each worker would give up one ($ 1.00) dollar an hour,
from their Hourly Wage Package. If they did not - They would
Begin to Close more Auto Plants.

The unions agreed.

The Auto Unions, have always been the Brunt of the Attack from
Criminal Corporate America.

The Auto worker''s Wage Package was the - Fundamental Backbone
of the Wage Package. For the Entire Middle Class.

What the Auto Unions - Never achieved was :
The Equal Wage and Benefit package of :
The Federal Employee ! ! !

All babies (and adults) are ingesting lead daily in food and drink.

EVERYTHING we eat contains traces of lead, regardless of source.

Complete avoidance of lead is impossible.

I bet EVERY single toy from China has lead in it.
I bet EVERYTHING from China has lead in it.

"Tests of Hamco bibs in May were within standards."

That means there is still lead in them but it is within THEIR standards.

Perhaps they were thinking bibs that could double as x-ray protection....
