Dangerous Chinese Products...

The People At Sensata Should Be Asking The Justice Department And The People At Transportation Safety To Look Into This Sale.

The Sensors That Sensata Manufactures Are Used In Automobiles And Aircraft. China Has Quite A Record Of Manufacturing Dangerous And Sub-Par Consumer Goods And Counterfeit Industrial Products.

Do We Want Something That Our Lives May Depend On Being Made In A Third-World Labor Camp Where The Workers Are Treated Like Slaves And Forced To Live In Sub-Human Conditions?

And Of The Sensata Plants That Are Already In China - Because Of Consistent Human Rights And Environmental Violations - There Should Be Pressure Put On American Companies That Buy Products From These Plants.

And - Has The Chinese Flag Ever Been Taken Down When Americans Were Training There?

Find a computer that isn't dependent on Chinese parts. Find one. I dare you. Get back to me when you do. Hell, Bush outsourced the production of coffin flags to China in 2002. Add insult to injury (death in this case), will you. My flags are all US made, including the tri-fold one that draped my grandfather's casket and, for that matter, the one my sister-in-law has that draped my father-in-law's casket. rMoney is all about outsourcing US jobs to other countries. Sensata workers are being replaced by Chinese workers they had to train, and those workers will be making 90 cents per hour. Think about it. rMoney's cool with that.

I've still got the 9-11 flag I flew on that day. It's tattered and faded and mounted upside down (international distress sign). I flew it at half-mast in 2004 when the shrub stole the second of his "elections". If rMoney steals this one, it will be back out. In sharp contrast, my current flag went out at half mast to pay respect for Arlen Specter. And yes, it's the same flag that flew when Reagan passed away. It won't be out for either the bush or the shrub. They don't deserve it. One of the flags will be out on 7 November and I think I know which one.
