David,

Precisely! Too many people want the cheapest tool that can do the job, more than they want to pay more money for a better tool made in America. And don't nobody try giving us any of that Global Economy bovine excrement. Go ask the folks in Rochester, New York how much film Kodak was ever able to sell in Japan to compete with Fuji Film.

It's not like Kodachrome was too big, too heavy, and got really poor gas mileage or something like that. It's still one of the best films that was ever made, is still made, and is one of the reasons I still hang onto 35 mm photography, even though 90% plus of the photographs I take are digital. And Kodak's history of trying to do business abroad is just one of many stories...


BTW, the elderly lady in Kentucky who defended her property with a .38 Special was shooting a snub nose when she shot out several tires on the thief's car. I saw video of her and the pistol today on the local news from Cincinnati that we get here by cable. It was hard to ID precisely what it was she had there, but it looked about the size of a K frame S&W with a 2" barrel.
