I honestly don't want to start that fight, but this is my point. We are caught in what looks like an inevitable situation of producing here (which I believe is the best ethical answer) and sacrificing long term viability or producing there to insure profits, literally at our working neighbors expense.

I love the product differentiation concept, the "Barney factor" as above, but in a sense that admits we can't succeed without a marketing "gimmick" or whatever you want to term it.

The one thing I believe is that we "invented" something new, here in the US, but once divulged, the lowest cost producer will be the one who simply takes the idea and wins the battle.
