[yowow#1]

Probably not much i'm sure but it looks to be old and cast, possibly cast out of lead or maybe pewter?

That cracked me up. If I was drinking liquid I'd have soaked the laptop.

Its a very sad thing to know that almost all manufacturing of things that used to be made in America are made in China. They have all of the technology that the American people invented. I am willing to spend a little more money on things that are made in the USA, but things are few and far between. I guess laughing about it helps to ease the sting of it, but it still hurts !!

It is not much condolence but I try to think of them as human too. They provide really affordable products and we benefit from that. It costs 3 or 4 X as much to buy local. We lose jobs here when factories move over seas but China is probably the only or at least major source of the USAs money in loans. The debt is unbelievable and likely never going to be paid. If China were a bank, they'd demand payment in full, instead they just keep selling really cheap products to us. If you lived there, you'd likely have a worse attitude about us than we do about them.

The U.S. government should not be borrowing money from anyone.
If you cant run a country and show a profit you need to be removed from that position.
Anyone who sells this country's future in anyway should be hung for treason.

China does not loan money because they like the U.S. people and want to help them, Just like the banker does not loan you money because he likes you, he does it to benefit himself.
Dont think collection day wont come in one way or another.

China provides garbage for their profit not our benefit.
