### You might be right here - this is not a coolly reasoned policy of mine,
just a knee-jerk reaction to something that stick in my craw sideways. But
then on the other side, if enough of us avoid Travolta's movies and loudly
say why, he won't be coming to a screen near you. His last movie tanked
badly, didn't it? Which is the whole point.
And, BTW, I do buy items made in China. They tend to be cheap. And the
percentage of slave-like labor in them is not high enough to justify harming
the potential economic growth of that country, which offers the best chance
for eventual improvement of working conditions there.
