Well okay, fine I will comment. I happened to be at Hearst Castle on Friday, on the evening tour, where they let us into the theatre. Therein they showed a news reel that contained, from 1933, a message from Randolf Hearst asking the American people to purchase American goods to help the prosperity of the American people, during of course the Great Depression. I will leave comments about Mr. Hearst to others.
At the same time I should mention that I have direct experience with support from India that was excellent. In addition, since we all know that Remedy is in 55+ countries one should expect a certain level of globalization from their support system. However, this is only valid if there is still support on US/Cdn/Other holidays which has been suspiciously lacking in the past. Buy locally, think globally. Susan Powter and David Suzuki have said the same about food, but I digress. In conclusion, I do not think that the ARSlist should be a political forum, it should reflect the quality, or lack thereof, of support. Greater issues of globalization and outsourcing to other countries is best expressed in your vote (in whatever country you may reside). And more directly, take a look at the labels on your clothing that tell you where your clothing is made, and contemplate if you should be concerned where BMC provides it's support? [I was wearing at BUW my NAFTA shirt one day: it says Canada, it is a Nike brand shirt (USA) but made in Mexico]. Do I have a point? Probably not, but then again I prefixed this post with OT and I have been awake for around 15 hours. ...
