RE: Well, one upside of a World market is no one can really go to war with anyone else.. Or suffer economic ruin

I (almost) think the average American would sell their own Mother to save a dollar.

You are't just a kidding.When I went to out to buy my gas grill,I could have gotten a decent made in China grill for about 250 dollars at that time.I ended up buying an American made CharBroil from our Local hardware store for 600 dollars but it was made like a commercial grill.It is going on nine years old and it looks almost as good as the day I bought it.
On the environmental front, we are winning due to better conditions for workers but the problem is,65% of the new jobs in the US since 1999 have gone to immigrant workers..I'm not talking illegal.I realize that many can't afford American made products anymore on the wages being paid and the only way it will come back is if these 3rd world country's workers start demanding a competitive wage. Personally,I don't think its labor wages that drive companies to move overseas.I think it is excessive regulation and potential litigation.Taxes,regulation,and potential law suits is why so many are leaving.
