Made In China

Ambassador Chris, Lieutenant Cathy, Commodore Alyssa, 
Commander Fayon, and Vice Admiral Chris toured the 
"Made In China" Street Fair on Madison Avenue following an 
UP With GAM gathering with a cheese and pepperoni platter from 
our Commodore and additional goodies to eat.
"Now the looters' credo has brought you to regard [the] proudest achievements as a hallmark of shame, ... prosperity as guilt, [the] greatest men, the industrialists, as blackguards ...."  -- Atlas Shrugged.


GAM is the most diverse club of individuals on any campus.  But unlike the wrong-headed multiculturalists, we are focused upon American exceptionalism--E Pluribus Unum.  Out of many cultures, religions, and creeds, we come together to celebrate what is good--industry..  .

“In all things social we can be as seperate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” ― Booker T. Washington.

British Prime Minister Cameron admonished the United Kingdom's parliament that those ambiguous on Western values should no longer receive state funding, and should be banned from university campuses. "Under the doctrine of state multiculturalism, we have encouraged different cultures to live separate lives, apart from each other and the mainstream."  
.  .
As GAM officers walked through a Madison Avenue street fair, our Purser Cathy (Chief Financial Officer of GAM) noted that ironically she came all the way from China to walk this corridor of tents and booths with goods for sale all made in China.
.  .
Cathy is here in the United States to supplement her business education.  While the English language is new to her, she is fluent in dollars and sense.  E Pluribus Unum.
.  .
While Unions supportive of the Democratic Party seek isolationism from foreign competition, and the Occupy Wall Street hoodlums supportive of the Democratic Party demand redistribution from the prosperous, GAM hopes you see that the Made in China label is an extension of the ideal of "the people who created the phrase 'to make money'"across the world.  While China may be a communist state, and the United States a mixed economy, so long as industrialists sprout up around the world, hope for all mankind persists.  
.  .
Let nations default, let children throw tantrums, let fools self-destruct.  But let's not turn our backs on friends in industry.  The People's Republic of China did not make those goods sold on Madison Avenue, Chinese industrialists did.  When you read Made in China, hear as an industrialist E Pluribus Unum.  American exceptionalism has no borders, only multiculturalism does.

[The opinion here is an inclusive expression from the Fleet Admiral and does not necessarily reflect the current understanding of anyone else.  Isn't that ironic?]
