For some strange reason my country had soldiers in Iraq & are still sending more to Afghanistan too, suporting an American war for oil, thinly disguised as a war on terrorism. My daughter is a soldier and I pray she doesn't get sent over there.

As the great Bruce Sprinsteen once said, "Don't believe everything your govt tells you. Putting your faith in your govt will get you killed."

I would bet you have more China stuff than you know....even on your car. I've said it before...When I bought my Simpson helmet new it had a made in China sticker on it. Their website claims their stuff is made in USA...

It's done all the time I bet...We have no clue as to what may or may not come from China. Sure there are laws, but I'm sure there are probably loopholes to them too.I've seen, in person, China made parts being repacked and sold as American. As long as they do something to the part they can claim made in USA. I don't know the letter of the law, but that's my understanding as to how they get away with it.

If you want to criticise a countries policies, you should criticise your own. Work to change your own country. We'll work on changing ours. Criticisim of our country, by a New Zealander, on an American forum, most likely, won't be well recieved here. If you want to talk racing.... Talk it!! If you want to bash America, go talk your shiz-nit someplace else.

:roll: "the great Bruce Springsteen"?? You gotta be putting us on!!!

I know a engine shop who has done a few pbm blocks, said they were spot on and everything checked out with the few he has done.

I am fully aware of how much Chinese Junk is in, around, and on my stuff and it pisses me off to no end. We the People have let this happen by buying it when it was Made in Japan out of beer can sheets.
We the People in the manufacturing end have had no choice as our government has regulated and taxed us to no other choice to stay 'competitive'. Pure unadulterated anti capitalistic ending in socialism.

The sad thing is that this is what ignorant people think is the reason why we are over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have personally seen with my own eyes how the peope in Iraq have changed since we been over here. They went from being scared chitless of even walking down the street during the day to being able to have drinks with their friends at night and not have to worry bout getting killed. When we finally caught Saddam everybody was celebrating. We are over here fighting to keep OUR country free and to be able to live in poeace and not have to live in fear.

Please forgive my ignorance here, but how does waging a "war" in someone elses country(middle east) maintain ones freedom etc, in their home country (USA)

desoto, go to the google search engine, and type in the words "World War Two". There, I believe, you'll find some clues, to help answer your question. Ignorance, can be fixed.....stupid is incurable.

It's simple. We fight them here or over there. Problem with here would be many Americans would want to give "them" free healthcare, food stamp, welfare and subsidized housing!!
Do I believe in everything our government tells me, No, but I get the benefit of living in a free country where I make my own life, can go as far in life as I want so I do support my country. Not to mention they drew first blood.
Remember 9-11.

Now back to our regular program. I'm not knocking Dart, but if it were me I would have given some spec on the foreign block against the Dart block. The way the article is written it looks like they're the same block and Dart is just giving in to them and doing a price war which we all know want win in the long run. JMO
I sure hope a few years of these cheap blocks doesn't put Dart in the same position as Barry Grant and Holley :shock:
