What I think

 still doing testing on animals? What is wrong with them? Leave the animals alone. Since you are doing the testing for people do the testing o on people and see how far that gets.

 is getting federal funding why do they say they are viewer supported and constantly asking for donations? I think PBS is one thing the government can stop wasting tax payer money  on.

 Does what limited sense people have go out the window when the vote? Why do they vote for tax increases that give you nothing. I assume these are all repeople who aren't actually going to have to pay the taxes. If you spend money don't you want some return for it. And then you have the people who bitch and moan about they way government runs and then votes for the exact same thing. Why are people stupid.

 So, Oregon wants to form an advisory board to figure out how to stop dangerous human animal interaction; like cars hitting animals. Not sure you need to waste time on this one. Stop ripping up animal habitats so they don't have to go near people who do not give a rip about them.

 more for goods made in the US. No, I doubt it. People want cheap and fast. And they can always buy another cheap something if the first one breaks. Maybe if US made and foreign made were the same price some people would look for the made in USA tag but many would not bother. 

 I have an have had no problems with them. My thought is; if I can buy cheap stuff from China from China and pay less why would I go to a big box store to buy more expensive stuff from China?   It would keep the big box store in business but that is not my job. If the big box store can't offer me better stuff than cheap stuff made in China for a decent price why should I support them? It does keep people employed but again it is the companies responsibility to keep employees in their business. If they would rather keep the CEOs pockets lined instead of paying employees so that they can offer customer service to their customers, well that's on the CEOs.
