that's so funny. i got a forwarded email recently that was talking about how the majority of products in the U.S. have the words, "Made in China," written on them and how we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for not making more of our own stuff (and in so doing, create jobs). so i was sitting, let's just say, IN the bathroom, and i started picking up whatever was around me to see where it was made. i discovered that everything in my bathroom except toiletries came from another continent. : )
