I am pretty bothered by this China poison in pet foods

I am pretty mad at American Companies continually buying crap from China. This is totally out of hand. This pet food recall is just one example as to why I am furious. Why are companies buying Wheat Gluten from China? Scratch that, I know why to save a few bucks. So in the process they can poison millions of animals along the way. Way to go GREEDY American companies. We get what we pay for huh? Which is garbage.

Sorry guys, I am pretty tired of this practice. It just sort of gets me. Now all the corporations are putting into play their damage control speaches and press releases trying to reassure Americans that they are voluntarily removing these products because they care about our pets and the quality of their products. Yeah right. If you cared about the quality of your products you would be buying Wheat products right here in your own backyard and would be supporting American farmers. Instead all they care about is the bottom line.

Now there is talk about Food grade wheat gluten being contaminated.

I am just in one of those moods today.

Yep I completely agree. Heck, look at the Chrysler, Ford and GMC... all are doing bad because more people would rather buy foreign cars. I wonder what it will take for majority to start being more adminant about buying american again... like people once were.
I agree about the outsourcing. So many jobs are being out sourced to foreign countries rather than letting an american get the hourly salary. I cant stand when I call up Bellsouth tech support and get a person sitting in India tryin to help me with my phone lines in South Carolina. I always ask what country they are in and when the answer is NOT America, I ask to be transferred to an american agent. The first time I did this I felt a little bad but Ive done it so many times now, it doesnt even phase me. I dont care. The way I see it, they stole my neighbors job and they could be the reason why Little Johnnie's daddy and mommy are both working fulltime and dont havethe time to spend with Little Johnny helping him do school work so that our american youth isnt so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to education. \

I think its all like one big snowball affect... the butterfly affect even.

As far as criminals... here's a fact for you I heard on the radio the other day:

The USA has 5% of the worlds population but houses 20+% of the worlds criminals. The USA also employs 70% of the worlds lawyers. Hows that for some facts.
