Realizing I could be stiring up a hornets nest with these political issues but oh well here it goes. I for one find the inevitable decline of the ARF a good thing. Guilty of this myself; we Americans seem to be closing our eyes to the questionable human rights of the people that build these planes in other countries. Often underpaid, underfed, overworked and even underage children in some cases are forced to wok in intolerable conditions by US standards. Why? So we can have a plane to fly on the weekends! Should we as consumers feed our insatiable need for things at their expense to save a buck? I don't think so. When so many companies with products we come to love move to these countries to take advantage of the cheap labor it leaves us little choice but to buy the products. I know some choose not to buy any items from countries like China due to the poor human rights and work conditions. I don't know I sure don't have the answers but awareness is a start I think. Buying made in the USA is the only real guaranty or build it yourself food for thought.
