Unfortunately you are correct, we are to blame.? I think we are becoming a Wall Mart society where Chinese garbage is tolerated by people with an everything including people are disposable attitude. Why else would anybody purchase products with labels on them like "Genuine intimation chrome plated plastic knobs", "Genuine Pleather", "Simulated Naugahyde" or "Realistic hard wood"? ?

Have you ever notice a woozy feeling after being in Wall Mart for more than a few minutes?? My best guess it is all of the Chinese products degassing Benzene, Dioxins and other deadly gasses used in manufacture.?? Without Wall Mart, I am sure the Chinese economy would be crippled.

Enough from me, now lets talk about the number one marketeer of fake iron meteorites,

You guessed it,

Adam

The Ministry of Tofu? Make that the Ministry of Meteorites, some time
soon. Get your cement achondrites, your hematite irons, and other assorted
fakes from China, at a really good price! But hey, I got this really nice
5g achondrite from Vesta for only $20.00!

PS: Or you can come to Colorado and get your fake meteorites from Steve C.
(unless he is back in jail!)
