Watch and wait. Just don't buy the goods. The thing I see everyday here in Ct is the little Chinese trophy babies being wheeled around the malls and parks. Their parents are so proud that they could afford to purchase..er.uh..SAVE a little Chinese girl, and also have a fabulous tour of the Great wall thrown in. Out here it's a status symbol on many levels.Financial, social, etc. But we are failing and ignoring the sweet children we have right here in our own backyards who need homes, just for the "privilege" of being soaked by the Chinese Govt. for babies they don't care about and aren't being held accountable for murdering. We are enabling them to make a fat profit off unwanted goods. AS IF children are a commodity. UUUGGGGHH! I see it every day, makes me crazy. If they don't want them, give them to people who do. Not that I want babies to die but, when? When will we hold them accountable? No dali, it isn’t. Watch and wait. Just don’t buy the goods.

Eventually those men are not going to be happy with the scarcity of women in their country because there isn't enough women for the number of men... that, coupled with the fact that China produces so much of what we buy, leads my Mom to believe that China will eventually want to perhaps start a war/take over the world/or something drastic like that and will have the man power and money to do at least something in that regard. Is it paranoia? I don't know.

Not sure why it is that we have to add fuel to the consumerist society. We live on less and we have more. Items seemed to first come form Japan, then Korea, Taiwan and now China. What is wrong with locally produced stuff .....if you want stuff that is.

After reading a short article written in the Christian Science Monitor about the "without China" experiment, I have tried to be mindful about buying any items made in China. It effects our economy both in terms of amount of goods imported and the amount of jobs lost here in the US. I have many other concerns about labor and environmental practices, not to mention the amount of energy used to ship goods halfway around the world. My pre-teen daughter is having a hard time with this idea, though I have not stopped buying everything that is made in China, she is now more limited in her selection of goods. Oh well...perhaps there is hope yet, my older daughter who I could barely get to clean her room now recycles everything! I found your blog recently and have really enjoyed it.
