horrible, and if lego does make all of the things in China, I know I'm not
going to support lego anymore.  If we e-mail or call or letter lego enough
times we could probably put an end to this.  We make up a major group of
lego consumers, being the Lugnet and all, and I we can't let this happen!
Its an outrage!!!!!!!!  It's also a waste of oil!  Thanks alot for your time
people!

I think some people are a little out of touch with reality, and I've seen
enough of this argument to post my 2 cents worth.  Its admirable that you
and others are willing to give up your abs habit to try and stop Lego from
doing business....

The fact of the matter, is that the vast majority of firms, including most
of the true "Red, White, and Blue" American major corporations are doing
business in China.  Point #2, In my opinion, only a modest portion of the
manufacturing of Lego is done in China.  If Lego decided to have all its
manufacturing done by China and other exploitive countries, I would stop
buying the stuff from the company myself (and I am a die hard Enthusiast).
But I have faith in the Lego Group that most of their production is done
in Denmark, Enfield, and other non-exploitive countries (like Switzerland).

Just my opinion on the matters.
