What gets me - for a buck

Recently, I have been shopping at dollar stores. They are great for finding good deals on root beer and gummi anything under the sun. Afterall, it's just a buck! However, there are things I don't like about dollar stores. Among these is the sale of US flags that are made in [the People's Republic of] China. As you know or don't know, China and the US are like night and day. To see for yourself, here is China's World Factbook entry and here is America's. From reading this, it's clear we are different as day and night. So then, why is easy to get a flag - the symbol of the principles our country stands for - made in a nation, that be honest has as much love for the US as my dog has for the UPS guy or the vacuum cleaner? I don't get it. Would a Canadian like their flag sold in Canada but made in the US? Would Australians like their flag sold in Australia but made in New Zealand? It boggles the mind. In any case, it's better to spend a bit more than a dollar to get your flag. Fine American-bred companies like this one will thank you for it.

Now don't get me started on frozen foods and vitamins in dollar stores...

    Today's youngster knows nothing but "they won't be sued" or "they won't be punished" because of their age.

    Today's kids are evil. SillyDog701 has been maliciously attacked more than once by a certain minor.
