“Mattel apologizes to China for product recalls” is the headline of a story about Mattel’s recall of about 21 Million toys. What is Colgate going to apologize to Chinia next, “sorry we didn’t watch the shelves for fake Colgate,” after all was it China’s fault that they made fake Colgate with poison? Are the pet food companies going to apologize to China for trusting them and not checking the food before packing it up and killing a bunch of pets? To be fair, Mattel claims that most of the recalls were design problems not Chinese manufacturing problems, but who cares why apologize to China since some were manufacturing problems at Chinese plants. Stop doing business with them, they kill people for protesting the government, heck we only arrest people for practicing their first amendment rights, and then really only if they are protesting against Bush, so that is largely Bush’s fault… then again they tazered that kid for speaking out at the Kerry rally, long after he was handcuffed… and again there is a giant standoff at the Brown’s house since they are holding off their IRS payment until somebody shows them the law that requires you to pay an income tax (did you know it is a secret law and they refuse to show it to anyone, even congress people who have requested to see it), admittedly holding off payment until they show you the law is perhaps not the best way to do it, but since the courts refuse to help and show the law I guess they took the only action they could (details). Anyhow, we don’t need to do business with them, they would revert back to a third world country if everybody refused to do business with them.
