I liked Aim toothpaste until I heard the Chinese make it nowadays and they decided to put anti-freeze in it. I see Aim for sale for a dollar for a large tube. Is this a good deal?
Aside from toxic sheet rock, toys coated out with lead paint and China proposing to abandon the U.S. dollar for some another currency, they say they wish us well and want to trade with us.

"Do these guys really have our best interest at heart?'

Why should they?
You either believe in capitalism or you don't.
Of all the countries in the world, aren’t American corporations the world leaders of heartlessness?

Not to spark a big debate here.... but, the Chinese will do about whatever US businessmen ask for. The Chinese work their butts of and are still impoverished.

I can't site any articles to support this but I seem to remember a few years back that 'fly ash' that is being used by American manufacturers to blend with gypsum is radioactive. There was also a building block being made here that is radioactive because it contains the same materials.

That crappy "safe solder" is for the d@mn birds. Oh...I might die someday, you say...??

Safety is for sissies!
Us REAL men like to live life on the edge.

Then you should rather take version #1 than version #2 of the blokepiece.

I hear you loud and clear on that, Klaus. As old as my house is, there's no chance of this being a risk unless I happen to get my hands on some Chinese stuff to do some repair work with.

The consensus seems to be that they're out to get us.

PPS: Schleppy, what are the forms of life on the edge of your truck’s front bumper?

Well, since you asked. It's been baptized in blood already. I hit (and killed) a deer with it the 4th week I had it. Then there's the various foul and insects that manage to find their way into the front of my truck. Oh well, a guy's gotta eat.

Once you chop that stuff up, nobody can tell it's road kill.

Deer flavored Chop Suey.
Yummmmmmmmmmmm.

Schleppy, from the colour of your face I am starting to fear that you eat too much Chinese take-out food. Or is it plain jaundice?
