Well since we sorta derailed here talkin about boycots and former enemies, I hooked up an ice machine for some VFW guys who REFUSED to have a Hoshizaki ice maker, so they got a USA made Manitowoc. Joke's on them 'cause nearly every internal component in that thing was from CHINA ! I think the shell may have been made in US.




Aaah, but lets remember here Wade that Chiang Kai-chek was one of our allies during the war in question here, and so maybe THAT would have made it "acceptable" for people who can't seem to let the freakin' past go, EH?!

(...and who SOMEHOW have the concept of "never FORGETTING the past" mixed the hell up with the concept of "never FORGIVING the past transgressions of others" and perhaps that whole "Sins of the Father" concept TOO!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
