.........and my tennis shoes were made in China or Indonesia and my 
coffeemaker was made in Mexico and some of my cotton clothing is "assembled" 
in Honduras and the engine in my Ford Taurus SHO was made in Japan and my 
telephone was made in Finland (as are some Porsches) and my dining flatware 
was made in Norway and my alpaswitar were made in - Switzerland - and my 
squash racquets are strung with gut from llamas in the Andes.

Fortunately my whisky is still distilled and bottled unblended in Scotchland 
and all of my Leica gear that did not emanate from Canada emigrated from 
Germany. Amen!
