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."

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.

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.

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:
