it becomes the standard argument,from wal-mart types---seemingly "low" prices,that's good for you---w/o stepping back,and asking about the "high-costs"(long-term impacts/eco-ethics,etc.) involved in bringing it to you,at that "low" price.just remember,when you look at dlskayaks products,here or on ebay,youre talking about products,made in a third world factory,with the associated enviromental/working conditions shortcuts,and artificial manipulation of currency values(so their product,is ALWAYS the cheapest),that add nothing to helping the US balance sheet---i doubt theyre buying anything from the USA,in return.if you want a competive US made product,from a mom and pop company,that actually contribute to the US tax base/work force,check out the standard/custom drybox sizes(and other custom aluminum work) from smaller stateside suppliers,such as ALL METALS WELDING in grand jct,colorado--(970)-243-6310,and others in your local,stateside areas.and no,i have no connection(or profit motive) to that company,so dont bitch at them---just dealt with them,and used their products,happily.the few extra dollars it may cost,will go a long way to contributing,to keeping us,from endlessly having to borrow money from asia/china,so your children can pay off your latest "rebate/stimilus check",that is only going right back to the golden triangle,with your off-shore purchase.yes,you can vote for change,in the way these importers do business,with your dollars(its the only way to get their attention),if you use your power,thats in your hands/wallet......
