There appears to only be a couple of reasons they are cheaper and that is
because of lack of the regulations imposed of manufacturing in China and
their exploitation of labor. I'm willing to pay the price difference for the

is watching the manufacturing process to make sure it is safe and the
environment is being regarded. And yes, this is a conservative's voice. Bill
