I'm chairman of a local Chemical Networking group, and our US profession is being devastated by outsourcing all the chemical plants to India and China. Over 50 plants are being shut down and moving out of the country. We would never be able to fight a war without chemicals especially because China and India would never support us in a time of conflict. Not to mention the devastation of US chemists who are now out of work. Also China and India have very lax enviornmental laws, so they can pollute the enviornnment very easily and save money that way. Don't you think this is a disgraceful and distructive policy to allow this happen?

How could we ever fight a war without chemicals? China and India are the least two nations that would ever support us in times of trouble, and yet we are rapidly becoming totally dependent on them for our own national defense. And the hurt this does to our own chemistry employment is terrible. I hope people notice before it is too late!

This is one problem I have with this concept of God too. I don't know why this God lets animals suffer either. All of this suffering is about a piece of fruit? I doubt it. I think this is just how life is and is part of no plan at all. The simple observation I make is that life has unhappiness in it and I don't try to explain why this is I just accept it as the real state of things and do what I can to help other beings in a hard world. Little children don't deserve to die for sin or any other reason and certainly not because of the sins of their ancestors. The are simply victims of a universe of impersonal laws most of which are out of their control. Even people in rich countries like America suffer from high crime, elderly people suffer from being abandoned and die of loneliness in old folks homes, domestic violence, child abuse, drug addiction, half of all marriages end in divorce, people eating too much unhealthy food and suffering from heart disease and diabetes etc.. so suffering is not contained in poor countries alone. The Western World has its own problems just in a different way.

It is indeed very unwise. To many Americans are already out of work because all of the computer jobs are in india and all the rest in china. This is also disgraceful. Plus, china is pulluted enough. Every endangered species in that country will be dead within a year probly.

Yes, this is a huge problem, especially recently. Corporations are having a sort of "race to the bottom", searching for where they can pay the lowest possible wages and have the cheapest possible production, and that's most easily possible in places with high unemployment, nearly non-existent human rights laws, and as you said, very lax or non-existent environmental laws. They are trying to make the highest net income possible, and they are exploiting developing countries to do it. Of course, this is the price people have chosen to pay for a capitalist economy...

OMG, are you serious? This is also a serious national security problem, putting foreign countries in charge of the production we depend upon!
Maybe John Kerry's riches, from outsourced Heinz labor, are not a national security problem but the chemicals we use daily are.
Our nation is being sold out from the inside.
