WalMart is the most dominant and efficient force in the movement to outsource manufacturing jobs to China.

Something to think about next time you shop at the big W.

Hey don't diss the Chinese. They're subsidizing your budget deficit and indirectly the Iraq war. What would you do without them?
Speaking of Chinese, A Flying Pigeon one speed bike would make as much sense as a cheap pseudo mountain bike for most casual riders. They are heavy and ugly, but road worthy, comfortable and indestructible and you can carry huge loads on them. Just don't try and ride up a hill.
