All of us North Americans suffer from the outsourcing of the manufacture of everything to cheap labour markets. They build junk because they build to 'spec'. Whose 'spec' are they building too do you suppose? Take a BlackBerry, iPhone or any other hi-tech item apart and see how excellently they make stuff. Not only do we have them make our things, we have them make cheap junk to sell to ourselves. When you see garbage from China, it is the North American company that asked them to build it so. Capitalism at its' finest. Cheers and Happy New Year! Peter
