    I always get sick in Mexico no matter how careful I am.
    I won't be going back
    lots of other lovely places to visit that don't give you the 'want to die shits'.

    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis

    Yeah well directly. The War on Drugs is probably one of the biggest wastes we've ever known.

    My cousin was sponsored by Nike during his career. They took him to China and he toured the factories. They told him that one of those Tiger Woods $120 golf polos cost them a gross total of less than $4 each.

    Carhartt also moved manufacturing to Mexico.

    Yeah... but, you got to dig through the stack to find them:
    http://www.stillmadeinusa.com/jeans.htm
    "Today, Levi jeans are made overseas. Wrangler and Lee brands are owned by VF Corp., which also owns Chic Jeans, Riders, and Rustler brands. VF Corp. has manufacturing plants located in the United States , as well as other parts of the world. So, while it MAY be possible to find a pair of Wrangler or Lee jeans made in USA , it's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack."
    In most of the retail outlets (Target, Wal-Mart, JCPenny, etc...) expect to find the foriegn made.
    ...
    It really is getting tougher and tougher to find things made in the U.S... unless you are in the business of all weather missile guidence systems, Big Macs or crack.
    Buy Stanley Tools and Mag-Lite Flashlights.

    That's why you won't find my ass in Mexico. Not because of immigration... or american business men shipping jobs over there... or NAFTA.... but, because I don't want to get kidnapped and i kinda like my head attached to my body.
