I've made it myself...or perhaps I'm remembering an old joke of David Cross. (He does a whole bit about flag-waving jingoists.) I can't remember. My daughter is very young, and since she's learning to read, she is constantly reading the words "Made in China". (We have a game called "Find something that ISN'T made in China".) I've tried explaining to her that she sees that phrase so often because that's how corporations maximize profits by eliminating jobs in the US, paying people in China slave wages, then importing the crap here. Yeah, it's ironic to see it on an American flag. Oh well. Just don't desecrate it anywhere, or you may find yourself arrested. Does the US Constitution say "Made in China", too?

Does the US Constitution say “Made in China”, too?
