Freedom, only if you pay for it. Shipping costs extra, of course. Pretty sad if you ask me.

There is a reality about these pretty little planes we buy, which is that few of us would want to live in the country where they are made. So once in a while it does not hurt to reflect upon what it all means. Does this mean I too have an agenda. No, not really. I bought a lot of these models and I am aware where they are from. But it is so easy to ignore the reality that exists. And one need not know all the facts to know that human rights are not optional.

Last year the issue was consumer protection rights with toys and lead paint. It caused a bigger stir than monks getting clubbed, beaten or shot. So we care more about the planes than the people.
What then does that make us.

And remember, when I paid for the planes I bought the right to voice my opinion.
