The amount of homework it would have taken to know this before the fact is too onerous to expect of anyone. Especially since a buyer can fairly assume that banned products won't be sold to him. Waste of our time -- but a good article to piss of Repugs and make them whine about Democratic nit-picking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got your nit-picking hang'n

I just finished counting in an order of shirts I received, appox 400 shirts, a small order for a local customer, from differant manfacturers, diff. styles, diff. colors. I had the same style, same color shirt, same manufacturer, come from 3 differant countries. In One color the XL's came from country "A", in another color it was the Large's that came from Country "A". There is little rhime or reason. In another shirt from a differant manufactuer I had shirts in the same size, style, & color come in with 2 differant labels in them, one of the labels the manufacturer hadn't used in 2 years. One of the counties just had a cuop in it and will probibly be put on and emport ban shortly if they don't get their poop together. You ought to see the hoops I have to jump through, when I get a order for a Union customer and they want shirts made in the USA by Union labor. The shirts costs them 50% more, 30% for shirt cost, 20% for the additional labor of finding the shirts, needless to say I don't do many Union customers work it's to much trouble for T-shirts, just stupid T-shirts.

That may say more about the observer than the observed

Careful, in my neck of the woods that kinda talk will end up landing you in the Chicago River. In this town, a new store gets "visited" by all the unions to make sure that all their work is done by unions. It gets really bad when you find out a simple sidewalk repair job requires four different unions.

Hell, I'm probably Bush's biggest defender among the "I Wish He'd Choke On Another Pretzel" camp... I'm all for blasting him, but for valid reasons. This was carelessness, perhaps, but not a legitimate attack point, in my eyes.

You are at that Illumina, That's why I put the at the end. You and I don't argue a whole "Hale" of a lot, though we are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Yes there are legititmate reasons for disargeement, and I can't recall you blasting him for any illegitimate reasons [img]smile.gif[/img]

I wouldn't put you in the "I wish he'd choke on another Pretzel" camp. I'd put you in the "I don't argee with his policies" camp [img]smile.gif[/img] there's a difference.
