Message	matters, "Made in USA" doesnt mean what it once did anymore. It's all about knowing the reputation and competency of the individual designer/producers these days. I think people are confusing a completely legit practice of re-branding stuff, and straight AMS-style ripoff part duping. "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform." --Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill END THE FED
