Things to think about

[Guest guest]

One Light Bulb at a Time

 

 

A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one

grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a

billion of them would . With that thought in mind, read the following,

obviously written by a good American

 

Good idea . . . one light bulb at a time . . . .

 

Check this out . I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day

for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose

attachments . They were all made in China .. The next day I was in Ace

Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments

there . They were made in USA . Start looking .

 

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do

affects someone else - even their job . So, after reading this email, I

think this lady is on the right track . Let's get behind her!

 

My grandson likes Hershey's candy . I noticed, though, that it is marked

made in Mexico now . I do not buy it any more . My favorite toothpaste

Colgate is made in Mexico now . I have switched to Crest .. You have

to read the labels on everything .

 

This past weekend I was at Kroger . I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce

dryer sheets . I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE

brand I normally buy was an off brand labeled, " Everyday Value . " I

picked up b oth types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the

same except for the price . The GE bulbs were more money than the

Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the

fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in

- get ready for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland , Ohio

.

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day

that are made right here .

 

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets . . . yep, you guessed it,

Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada . The Everyday Value brand

was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the

dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for

years and at almost half the price!

 

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for

everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the

job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

 

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book

so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop

buying from overseas companies!

 

(We should have awakened a decade ago . . . . . . )

 

Let's get with the program . .. . . help our fellow Americans keep their

jobs and

create more jobs here in the U . S . A .

LITTLE

GIRL ON A PLANE

 

A stranger was seated

next to a little girl on the airplane when the

stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's

talk.

I've heard that flights go quicker if

you strike up a conversation with your fellow

passenger.'

 

The little girl, who had

just opened her book, closed it slowly and said

to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk

about?'

 

'Oh, I don't know,' said the

stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he

smiles.

 

OK, 'she said.. 'That could be an

interesting topic. But let me ask you a question

first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass - .

Yet a deer excretes

little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat

patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried

grass.

Wh y do you suppose that is?'

 

 

The stranger, visibly surprised by the

little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and

says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

 

To which

the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel

qualified to discuss nuclear power when you

don't know shit?

*She then open her book. *

I agree completely with the premise of sacrificing some coin to promote

Made in USA products. The second step to switching brands is emailing

the companies to let them know you've done so and why. We lose in

multiple ways when US companies manufacture overseas..we loose jobs,

taxes, and product purity and lastly environmental changes as the

factories get away with production environments they wouldn't be able to

get away with in the USA.
