Frank--Thought of you when I received this--sad that there is so much truth
here and that we all seem to play a major role. We could add that just
before putting on his sandals (made in Brazil), pouring himself a glass of
wine (made in France), and turning on his TV (made in Indonesia), he decided
to jack up his Sprite (oops!--made in Britian--have to forgive that one!) and
replace his rear springs (made in Taiwan), with his new socket set (made in
Hong Kong).
