Week of August 12, 2007 - August 18, 2007

The fruits of globalization


I am truly blessed to have not lost a job to outsourced Chinese labor. But Matel's recall of inferior and unsafe children's toys is the fruit of globalization that everyone has to eat.

It should be considered fraudulent for Matel to put its mark on the choking and lead poisoning hazards that they import.

Matel is not the first "American" company to slap its multigenerational and highly-valued "American" brand on an imported piece of garbage and keep the profits for itself.

They should be stripped of their patents, copyrights and trademarks. Let them compete as the worthless knock offs that they have become.

Because even if you're lucky enough to keep your job, your kids still get to play with trash that falls apart well before the next movie comes out.
