Cary:

No, the Chinese are not the only ones capable of doing a number on someone else and I never said that. But don't try to sidestep the issue by bringing up Enron and such. Instead, try telling the beleaguered US Army general who bought those millions of substandard berets from the Chinese that it's all right because he could have gotten screwed by someone else. Or explain that to the parent whose toddler is sucking on a Chinese crayon which is fraught with lead.

Let's say you go to the store to buy something, anything. And you find one box of this anything made in China and right beside it you find another made in Italy. C'mon, be honest, which are you going to buy?

The Chinese ship dreck to this country and that is what, apparently, they excel at doing.
