After doing more research, I have news for you. As I remember in my travels, I have seen furniture of excellent quality being made in foreign countries. Thus why do we get this furniture that is of such poor quality? or shall we say substandard. The honest answer is very sad, as these corporations come from the United States, and they moved their facilities to a foreign country. First they are looking for cheap labor; they also do not want to offer benefits for the employees.

I continue a crusade to different stores and internet sites, to be able to be your eyes. I have been studying bar stools for a very long time. I have watched so many different videos pertaining to the way these beautiful pieces of furniture are created, and the procedure and time it takes to build just one of these stools. It amazes me how the artisans take so much time and care when they create these pieces of wrought iron that are used in the bar stools. The time they put in to make this...

I think one of the tricky things to do for me is to start a new article, as I continue with my adventure of visiting stores and other sites, I find so many products made in many different countries but not the USA. Do we have any responsibility with our own country? Do we have any responsibility with the national manufacturing companies, and with our own local stores? How can we be the means of support to all the above? As the time goes by I still think that each individual citizen of the United

I have pondered about this subject, and as always my gears started turning again. I do know it is a very difficult subject to talk about. For generations of time, we men have been instructed to be different than women, in the sense of showing their masculinity at all times. Men are supposed to be strong, and not show their emotions. As we go along in life, hopefully we become wiser, and realize that men are humans like women. Thus, the question lies in front of us, is it okay for men to cry?...

What do us the people of this country need to do, to stop this downward economic trend? Do we keep buying foreign products, or support our local...
